If it is desired to connect only certain ones of the terminals in the row, an appropriate number of connector clips may be removed from the supporting means, the ones being removed being those which would be situated above the terminal or terminals in the block which it is not desired to connect. There is also disclosed a cover for the bridging assembly which comprises a base portion and two side portions, the side portions being perpendicular to the base portion. The side portion…
