blades. On the DS416 and DS420 the main contact
member, i.e. which makes actual contact with the station-
ary contacts, is a horizontal member to which all blades
are connected. On the DS632 and DS840 there are two
sets of contacting surfaces, one vertically above the
other, for making contact with two corresponding rows of
stationary contact fingers. The arcing contact assembly is
bolted to the top of the main mo

assembly. This has the arcing contact tips, of arc resist-
ing metallic composition, permanently fastened near the
upper end of the assembly. The moving contact blade
assembly is operated by a strong and rigid insulating link.
