Abstract
Two parallel rows of three fixed electric contacts are mounted on an insulating base. An insulating slider movable lengthwise of the rows carries a pair of bridging contacts from a position in which each bridging contact bridges the adjoining middle fixed contact and either of the end contacts in the same row to a position bridging the same middle contact and the other end contact in that row. When the bridging contacts are moved into engagement with a pair of end contacts, the slider also moves a metal shorting contact into engagement with the other pair of end contacts, whereby those two contacts are electrically connected.
