REPLY:
David, I agree with your basic concept except that in my experience,
microswitches are among the most unreliable switches ever made. They
ar4e notoriously prone to fail just when you need them the most.
In all fairness, my experience with them is several years old. Perhaps
newer production units are better, but I remain suspicious. If the
newer ones are UL recognized, that would be a good sign.
