plunger switch

Oh you silly people. Echelon is a myth started by Hollywood. Yes, that's right - the Jennifer Garner series "Alias" was penned for her back in 1949... (I'm merely preempting future answers on the subject ) It does include Canada & NZ. And as I describe it - "ALL electronic communications". (Or so the TV-script reads...) Oh, did I digress?

I'm not sure what you therefore want... We tend to deal with electrical stuff, though mechanical and electrical are essentially equivalent, or can be converted, etc. Maybe if you describe what it is you are trying to do. BTW - fridges AFAIK use ordinary switches, not any "mid way" switching. And if they were mid-switches, I expect they'd be 2 (or 3) switches combined electrically rather than a mechanical set up. (Maybe like my tank or sump pump that switches between 2 levels, or an extension thereof.) PS - I wish this site had adjustable font sizes - I'd write smaller to make it harder for Echelon to intercept. Maybe you guys can ctrl-down_arrow or ctrl-down_mouse_scroll to help me out...?

Hello. I will let the matter rest here and thanks to all for your contributions. Regards, Pete.

To use anything electronic I would have to run a power supply the length of both front and rear gardens. Hello Howie. It is nice to find I am not the only one who knows about Echelon. Thanks again Pete.

Howie, what is a "Front & Rear Garden"...? Unless it Literally means front and rear gardens?M.E.C.P & First-Class

English houses tended to have a front garden (now the driveway for your cars) and a back garden*, just realised, translates as YARD. *I'm in an apartment but if your Jewish like me the back garden becomes a bar-b-q patio and a pool.
