 Today, Nate Gibson, an Auto Tech student from Manteno High School, created electrical diagrams on paper.  He, and other students like him, then colored their diagram as it is a working diagram. 

If you are curious as to why colors are important to his drawing of the diagram and the project - they are  

  • Red 12v continuous
  • Orange 12v switched
  • Yellow ground switched
  • Green ground continuous

From those drawings, Nate constructed the device on the workbench.  Mr. Stafford gives the students a mystery device to add to the circuit in a series. When completed, students have built a running lamp and turn-signal circuit.
