Re: (ET) 2A contactor wiring question

[Christopher Zach <czach computer org>]

Makes sense. Remember that the job of the contactors 1A and 2A are to 
short across the resistor strips. When they are not energized, the 
resistor carries the current (and slows the tractor down). Energise and 
the resistor dissapears from the circuit (and the tractor speeds up).

Resistor 2 is attached to the end of resistor 1, so I can see them both 
being nailed to one end of 2A. And you want to connect 2A to 1A anyway 
to maintain the circuit.

Make sense?
