[TR] OD wiring A-type TR3A

[Geo Hahn]

Ronnie --

Here's a diagram...

As Randall notes, there are 3-terminal relays in the world -- I use one on
my brake lights but that works because I am controlling power.  As you can
see in the diagram OD switch controls the ground side of the equation.

If interested I have versions of that diagram wherein I have added the
diode suggested (elsewhere) by Randall.  I also added a fuse and indicator
light but all this can come later after you have the thing working.
