John, it is possible to make a switch turn on and off, so one time

touched it - it returns to the "off" position, for example, right?

I don't understand, what is it for? As I see, you can use the switch
actually only once. A trigger to which that switch is connected, for
example, will change something once and if you will use the switch
again, nothing will happen. Trigger won't change anything again.

You'd have to use patch vectors.

Is it really so? Or is this a bug? Why did you include such multi-
action switches?

It's a side-effect of the design I chose; the same as 'stopped' and
'sticky' conveyors in JSW48.
