A coil bobbin includes a spindle, a terminal retaining flange and a second flange extending from opposed ends of the spindle between which a coil of wire is wound. The terminal retaining flange includes two diametrically opposed slots which receive electrical terminals, one of the slots serving as a starting place for the wire.

Coil assembly

A free-floating shorting bar carries electrical contacts at opposed ends thereof. The shorting bar is actuated to open and close mating electrical contacts by a pair of axially indexable shafts in a manner whereby three electrical contact conditions are provided: (1) With both shafts indexed 'out' a first set of contacts is closed and a second set is opened; (2) With both shafts indexed 'in' the first set is open and the second set closed; and (3) When one shaft is indexed 'out' and one 'in', both sets of contacts are closed.
