[Tigers] Tiger Panel Switch Question

[e.coiner at cox.net]

Interesting responses from the group.
It seems there are a lot of cars with each type of switch.
So far I don't see a pattern to which model car has which.

If you look at the wiring diagrams in the shop manual, all three models (I, Ia, II) show a switch with 8 contacts some bussed together, but I can't discern a resistor in that diagram.
The two position small switch has only two contacts and would not seem to match the wiring diagram.

What does Book of Norman have to say on this topic?

The resistor on this switch is a thin rectangle  of some sintered material that clips into two u shaped contacts on one end of the switch.  At first glance it is not readily apparent.
