5. Drive four nails through the metal sheet and the blocks to fasten to the wood base. A second connecting wire is attached to one of the nails as in step 2. 6. Wrap adhesive tape around the edges of the plate and wood base. This will assure that no dirt or other foreign matter will get between the plates and prevent the switch from operating. How to Use The switch is placed in a hole in the path of expected traffic and covered with a thin layer of dirt or other camouflaging material. The mine or other explosive device connected to the switch can be buried with the switch or emplaced elsewhere as desired. When a vehicle passes over the switch, the two metal plates make contact closing the firing circuit.
7.4 Metal Ball Switch This switch will close an electric circuit when it is tipped in any direction. It can be used alone for booby traps or in combination with another switch or timer as an anti-disturbance switch. Materials Required Metal Ball 1/2 inch (1-1/4 cm) diameter (see note) Solid copper wire 1/16 inch (1/4 cm) diameter Wood block 1 inch (2-1/2 cm) square by 1/4 inch thick Hand drill Connecting wires Soldering iron & solder Note: If other than a 1/2 inch diameter ball is used, other dimension must be changed so that the ball will rest in the center hole of the block without touching either of the wires.
