Abstract
Operation of a pair of switches mounted on a circuit board is effected by a rocker-type actuator mounted in an escutcheon plate of a control panel spaced a substantial distance from the circuit board. Elongated compressible plungers linking the actuator to the switches and associated operating structure are used to change rocking motion of the actuators about a rocking axis into a linkage type motion of the plungers for activating the switches mounted on the circuit board.
