Abstract
A refuse compactor having a selector switch for causing the ram to be automatically retained in the compacting position when desired. The control of the compactor is also arranged to provide an automatic movement of the ram to the compacting position and then to a retracted position with the selector switch permitting such automatic cycling, when desired. A signal device is associated with the control to provide an indication of the retention of the ram in the compacting position when the compactor is so arranged. The control may include centrifugal switches and a selector switch for selectively controlling energization of individual forward and reverse start windings of the drive motor for selectively moving the ram.
