[Amps] rotary switches

[carlseye@tampabay.rr.com (carl seyersdahl)]

 Here's another question that I've often wondered about!!! Given a switch
wafer with 30 deg. indexing, which has 6 contacts on each side, 2 of which
are common ie: 2 poles. Is this considered to be a 5 position or 6 position
switch??? some say 5 some say 6 and I don't know who to believe!!!! I didn't
major in switches in school!!! I just bought what I needed at the store many
years ago!!!!
