ABSTRACT:
A rack and pinion mechanism in a switch apparatus which ensures proper staging of the pinion to the rack during assembly is disclosed. A protuberance engages a receiver disposed on the rack and operates to prevent final assembly of the pinion to the rack unless both are properly staged. This minimizes the occurrence of misstaged switches assembled in blind installation conditions.
