Description

A wooden switch operated by pulling the cord downwards to complete an electric circuit. The circuit is made until the cord is released, so it is not an on and off switch as such, but more of a controlled on switch. The spring inside the case pulls the cord upwards once it is released, thus breaking the circuit.

The top of the case unscrews to reveal the workings. The thread of the mechanism is wooden so should be treated with respect. The wooden case and hand piece at the end of the cord are both made of walnut.

It would be OK to use this in a battery circuit, but on a mains electric circuit I would be very wary and get advice from a qualified electrician first.

The diameter of the case is 2.5 inches or 6.5 centimetres.

The quality is good. No damage to the wood and the internal workings seem to operate well (not tried with electric).

The price includes UK first class postage.
