Applicable to switchbox of the S.S. standard type. (1) Inspect the following points :- (a) The switch motion for correct operation as judged by the sensation of operating the switches. (b) Similarly, the operation of the gauge light press button. (c) The correct fit of the inspection lamp plug in its socket. (d) The locking mechanism for correct operation. (2) The insulation of the various switch contacts from the case of the switchbox shall now be tested by applying an alternating voltage of 200 through a low c.p. 200 volt lamp, between the case and each terminal in turn, with the exception of the magneto terminal on the back, both switches meanwhile being in their 'off' positions. After ards between the case and the magneto terminal mentioned with the right hand switch in each of the switching positions, i.e. M & B, M B & C, and M & C.
