[QUOTE="Len Matthews, post: 4793, member: 178"] Those 3-position Miller switches often appear on Ebay and are either NOS or pattern ones from the mystic east. I believe these switches were fitted to various road going Greeves models which had direct lighting. There is another Miller switch that can be used on a Vincent with coil ignition- possibly from an LE Velo. This one has a detatchable key which when removed prevents anything from being switched on. The correct one for Vincents is the 4-position version. The CH position is, as Ian says, is a throwback to the pre-war 3-brush dynamo and has no function on post-war bikes. Someone once sent me a 4-position switch with a resistor still attached and asked me to remove it. I declined and sent it back with the comment that it was something of a rarity and should not be altered. [/QUOTE]
