Further to our telephone conversation of this afternoon, we are sending under separate cover a sample of our 2-Way Switch of a Push type which may possibly be modified slightly to meet your requirements. As you will see, one contact is common, and of the other two, one is permanently on with the push in the 'out' position, but breaks contact when the push is closed, then in turn the third contact makes. Perhaps you will just be good enough to have a look at this to see if it can be arranged to meet your requirements. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS, LIMITED.
