Hey folks,

We were just ordering electrical supplies today, and butted heads with the rules on switch type. The official rules state that the switch located above the shoulder must be of the "rotary type." This doesn't make much sense to me, as most rotary switches have many poles and are for selecting multiple settings (like on heater fan switches in cars). We were planning to use toggle switches; does anyone have some insight into this one? Thanks...
