PaulUK,

Since I have you on here, I have a question. I was told that in USA we have what we call a 3-way switch. This is a switch that can control a light from 2 different locations. If you wanted to control a light from 3 or more locations, you would use a 4 way switch. Now most people asked me, why a 3 way switch would only work from 2 locations, and a 4 way would work from 3 or more locations.
I was told that ther terminology came from England and the original "3-way" switch was call a "3-point" switch. That was because it had 3 screws on the body of the switch. A "4-way" switch was called a "4-point" switch because it had 4 terminals on it. Have you heard of anything like this?
