Hi Lou,

The two guarded switches are for the E-MAG and P-MAG. I connected the 
guards backwards so that when they are closed, the mags are on and when 
they are open the mags are off.

I did not want someone to inadvertently hit one of the guarded switches 
and end up shutting off one of the mags.
