Mousetrap -- Built by Les Pattison

Switch gang

This pic shows the gang of four microswitches whose levers are pressed down by the screwed rod when the parallel bars rotate. The levers are especially long and the switches are known as Paddle Microswitches and are Maplin ref. NF21X.
How these are wired, together with some others underneath the deck, will be explained in the next picture.
