Thanks for the link. I see there are sprung and un sprung throws. I'm not sure of the sprung's purpose. Could you explain the difference? Thanks again.
 


You will want the sprung type, it holds the switch points tight against the rails. If you get the un-sprung style they suggest you use a bent wire to connect it to the switch to keep the points tight and to eliminate any problem from having the ground throw over-throw.
