[sdiy] 3 position switch help

[anthony]

Yes, it's that special switch that I think people use in Buchla 292C 
circuits sometimes? I forget the C&K number, but if you look at he German 
link in another message you can see how when the switch is in the middle 
position, only ONE of the switch contacts has moved: when it's UP, both are 
UP, when it's in the middle one is UP and the other DOWN, when it's DOWN 
both are DOWN.

You could call this an asynchronous DPDT ON-ON-ON or something like that.

Depending on what you are doing a normal DPDT ON-OFF-ON (more common) can be 
used as a three position switch if you are using it to switch different 
values of resistors or something.

You could have the top one be 2 resistors in parallel, the middle be just 
one of the resistors switched on and the bottom be 2 resistors in series. 
However you like, you get the idea.
