Abstract
A jitter switch comprises a casing defining therein a chamber in which an armature is freely movable in longitudinal and transverse directions. Positive and negative terminals communicate with the chamber. The armature is freely movable longitudinally to make contact with either of the positive and negative terminals. In every longitudinal position of the armature, the armature and terminals define transversely opposite conductors. The armature is freely movable in the transverse direction to bring the transversely opposite conductors into engagement.
