Note: this layout requires a Single Pole, Double Throw switch (minimum 3A
rating) available at a hardware or electrical store.

Operation, you will have to isolate the outside rail of the "A" Line and the
outside rail of the "B" Line. To do this, bend back and remove the brass
connector under one end of the rail that is to be isolated (marked with an
"X" on the layout in figure 14).
