SWITCH<br />
COLE HERSEE’S<br />
HEAVY-DUTY SWITCH<br />

ignition switch with keys has<br />
a variety of trucking applications.<br />
These heavy-duty<br />
switches have plated steel<br />
casings to resist corrosion and<br />
have two positions, Off and<br />
Ignition. To ensure safety the<br />
key is only removable in the<br />
Off position. The switches are<br />
rated at 5 amps. Available<br />
with two 12-inch wire leads<br />
with ring terminals, the<br />
switches are sealed with a<br />
rubber boot for protection<br />
against dirt and moisture. Call<br />

4x4 Pickup<br />
MARCH 2006 81<br />
For centuries, the most valued timepieces in<br />
the world have been driven by mechanical<br />
springs. That’s as true today as ever, despite<br />
the best attempts of newer technologies to<br />
compete. It’s a similar situation with Hutch<br />
trailer spring suspensions.<br />
Crafted for lasting reliability, Hutch spring<br />
suspension systems are as valued today<br />
as when we began 55 years ago. Their<br />
consistently smooth handling and durable<br />
construction have served as the hallmarks<br />
of our proven steel spring technology.<br />
It’s the perfect time to depend on Hutch<br />
trailer spring suspensions. Specify Hutch.<br />
