One Way Plug Key: Definition & Uses

No. They are binding posts for connecting your wires to the switch terminals.

The gaps are the spaces between the metal blocks. The gaps prevent current flowing from block to block unless a key plug is inserted to bridge the gap.

(wheatstone)?Gaps are connected like wheatstone bridge?

(wheatstone)?Gaps are connected like wheatstone bridge?

The Wheatstone reference was due to the schematic symbol in question on the tiny, fuzzy image reminding me of a typical Wheatstone bridge setup.

I now realize that it's meant to represent a switching arrangement comprised of your Plug Key Switches (PKS's). So forget the Wheatstone.

Apparently you're meant to use the provided PKS's in the wiring up of your lab circuit. You'll have to figure out the wiring arrangement that makes the plug key switches accomplish the required reversal of the polarity of one of the cells.

Your 36th post asked how to connect the gaps. That's easy: insert a plug key into the gap.

My previous response was to your question:
