Abstract of the Disclosure Switch array has multiple sets of at least opposed pairs of contacts on opposed pairs of parallel flat resilient conductive switch blades arranged side-by-side with corresponding blades supported in generally common planes generally parallel to one another by rigid mechanical engagement of each blade at a position remote from its contact area by an insulating wall of a relatively rigid support frame. In order to operate, one of the blades of each pair is moved by actuator means engaging its end remote from the point of support on the frame and more proximate to its contact. The actuator means includes a rigid member rotatably supported on the frame for oscillatory movement about a fixed axis on the frame and providing a slot in the plane of corresponding ones of the blades, which slot is positioned to closely engage the ends of at least some of the blades in that plane. When the actuator means is rotatably moved about its axis, it moves the engaged blades in a direction transverse to their original plane and their supported contacts toward or away from engagement. Their opposed contacts, preferably resilient means between the frame and the rotatable actuator member, acts to restore the actuator means to predetermined position and means is provided to retain the actuator means in at least one pre- determined position into which it is moved against the restraining force of the resilient means. Similar actuator means thus defined may be supported on the frame rotatable about a common axis but engage different blades in the same plane to thereby define distinct groups of commonly actuated switches within the array.
