Hi All,

Just to mention that a new tutorial here was added by Ivo de Colfmaker from Antwerp (Belgium) about a fully working "real" Korry-switch.

"Real" is here:

Latching ON/OFF positions and a realistic "travel-distance" between the ON and OFF position of about 10 mm. See docs at http://www.korry.com
This is important because it gives the nice "irregular" profile of e.g. an overhead with switches in or out !
All commercially available switches (except Korry...:-) have a much shorter "travel-distance".

Building costs about 1-2 U.S. Dollar at max.

I know this is a very old post, so sorry to bring it up, but since all the downloads were re-organised etc, i guess this one got lost! Have you Hessel? or anyone else, still got this tutorial, as it would be great for people to have! Thanks very much
