I thought it might have the piston nature, but I was mistaken.  It looks lovely, especially when illuminated but, despite being advertised as a momentary switch, there is a loud click when the button is depressed.  It sounds almost as if it is a latching switch with the latch removed.  Disappointing.

Never mind.  I’ve another style on order, which should arrive some time after Christmas.  If that one also fails to meet my exacting standards, I’ll fall back on the tried-and-tested Kimber Allen piston.

I was going to do some work on the console on my week off (starting next Friday – huzzah!), but I’m trialling a new dog to see if she will settle in with my current dog.  She’s a rescue who has had a moderately horrible life, and needs somewhere warm and safe with a big sister.  The prospective big sister met her at the kennels yesterday and they got on remarkably well.  Next Friday is the big test to see if they maintain that bonhomie (bonnefemmie?) at home.  My house may be in ruins before the week is over.
