Abstract
A cycle-select switching system for automatic appliances and the like of the type for selectively performing any one of a plurality of distinct operating cycles. The switching system comprises selection means having a plurality of outputs, each corresponding to one of the operating cycles, and a momentary contact switch for producing a control signal of variable time duration. The selection means is responsive to the control signal by sequentially advancing to the output defined by a selected time duration of the control signal and thereby initiating the operating cycle corresponding thereto.
