ABSTRACT:
A mechanical cross point switching matrix has orthogonally related vertical and horizontal conductive elements or wires. Plugs are rotatably mounted at each of the crosspoints. A conductive surface on the plugs electrically interconnects the multiples at that crosspoint when the plug is rotated in one direction, and disconnects the multiples when the plug is rotated in the opposite direction. The invention packs the plugs into a smaller space to increase the switching capacity relative to the space requirement, as compared to the prior art. In part, this reduction in space requirement is accomplished by inverting adjacent plugs, relative to each other so that the plug operators may be fitted into spaces at opposite sides of the multiples.
