Looking for help on naming of switch types.

In the field of rotary switches

If the pole rotates between contacts in a break before make manner how would you name this?

  "break before make" type    (most things)

If the pole rotates in a make before break manner how would you name this?

  "make before break" type    (like powerstats/Variacs)

Now the one that has me puzzled, If all the switchable contacts are connected to the pole contact with the exception of the selected position, how would you call this?

  "shorting" type     (power amplifier tank coils)
