Is this maybe a Traveling Bos Threeway and Fourway or California Threeway and Fourway
Which is it ? I don't guess it really matters since we can not find who though of it.
But it works and it does not switch the neutral like the so called Chicago Threeway
Since we now have 14/4 w/grd. & 12/4 w/grd nm romex we can run this circuit to NEC code.
And in conduit I don't see a problem with it.
The only advantage it has over the Conventional Threeway and Fourway is you can have
a light being controlled by the switches at both locations. The house and the detached
garage or what ever.
Maybe its just because I'm so used to the conventional switching system maybe, but I think the
the California system is very confusing.
I would never use it myself.
Myself I steel like the Tennessee Threeway it just requires two wires a barbe wire fence and a piece of bailing wire and a roll or two of black Electrical tape UL approved of course.
