I have an application where I need to activate a SPDT set of contacts
such that the toggle action does not release after the coil voltage is removed.
And I should then be able to toggle back the contacts with another pulse.
The best analogy is a SPDT RELAY that latches in the activated position until
another pulse comes and toggles it again.
If anyone knows of such a device, or can think of a way of building one....

I hope this makes sense to everyone, I know it does to me :-)
