Switch Naming Proposition #4 - Hi-Tek/Stackpole Switches
Posted: 26 Sep 2013, 08:01
This is somewhere that Daniel Beardsmore has more authority, but since I need a name 
There are at least two (maybe more) manufacturers of this switch (there are differences too). It is also not known who was first (can't remember if there is a patent with Hi-Tek).

My proposed names:
Hi-Tek Bonded Finger Switches

Stackpole Bonded Finger Switches

Bonded, as the switches are all attached/bonded together. Finger, from the distinctive contacts, also found on later Hi-Tek Space Invader Switches.
Thoughts? Do people like "Hi-Tek Finger Grid Switches" better?
