	Join date: 24/10/2007 The link have info and comparison between mechanical and electronic. But there is no solid example. Suppose you have a mechanical timer in your hand with six wires or less, how you will wire it into some machine ? any circuit principal ? which wire goes where ? rule of thumb ?

	Write a description of what the timer is intended to do, and go from there. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Join date: 24/10/2007 hi PWSlack, Timer will on the washing machine for specific time, it also stop the motor momentarily and starts again in oposite direction. In short it will do all the operations as it intended to do in a ordinary washing machine like start , stop, ringing at the end for some time to intimate that the operation is over. __________________ Join Date: 24/10/2007
