The arm of the switch is connected to one terminal of battery, or source of current, and the other terminal connected direct to remaining terminal of motor. Put arm of switch on point No. 1 and lower one of the top disks in jar No. 1 and make contact with wire above jars. The current then will flow through the motor. The speed for each point can be determined by lowering top disks in jars. The top disk in jar No. 2 is lower down than in No. 1 and so on for No. 3 and No. 4. The connection between point No. 5 on switch, direct to wire across jars, gives full current and full speed. ** How to Build a Toboggan Sled [44] By A.
