'WITH the object of simplifying automobile wiring VV systems, C.A.V.-Bosch, Ltd., ,Acton, London, W.3, has just produced a new type of switch. Designated Model 121, it is of Bakelite construction and incorporates a bladetype switch, a cartridge fuse and spare and the necessary terminals. • It is provided with slots in the base, which enable it to be mounted in line with other switches on the bus bars. Alternatively, it can be supplied for independent mounting.
The unit is also available purely as a fuse box, containing two fuses of a similar type to those of the other, but not incorporating a switch. It is described as Model 123, and in other. respects is practically identical with Model 121.
, In 'all cases there is a moulded, detachable cover, having an aperture through which a label, mounted on the body of the unit, is visible. This arrangement overcomes the difficulty of avoiding accidental changing of the covers when these bear the name of the component controlled by• the switch.
The wires from the various components enter from the back of the board on which the units are mounted, and are invisible 'from the front when the cover is in position.
