| Switch, Booby Trap Murray) Mark I | Switch, Combination, Mark 2, (Aust) |
| A combination switch developed during the Second World War. It used a modified .303 cartridge case for a fuze or detonator lighter. Able to be transformed to a pressure, pressure release, or pull switch. | If anyone has any particular information on this combination switch it would be appreciated. About all I know about it is its Australian. Obviously developed from the Murray Combination Switch. |
