Clearly, I should clarify. ; )
Imagine a playfield with three individual "lanes" through which a rolling ball might travel. The lanes are designated "10 mph", "25 mph", and "50 mph".
I'd like to be able to employ the same mechanical actuator/trigger in each lane, but nonetheless have the ability to have each individual switch produce a different duration of current flow. In effect, the balling rolling down the "50 mph" lane would, by allowing current to flow for a longer time than the other lanes, cause the "Scoreboard" to 'run longer' (read: count higher) than either the "10 mph" or "25 mph" lanes.
Thanks very much for your comments.
