Pull To Pont - Fall To Ball

I've been doing this stuff for over twenty years and I'm "still" learning.

Some (not all) system schematic manuals that I've used have two little symbols related to relays contacts. Either a circle or triangle is depicted. I never paid attention to what they might mean. Well...... now I know.

All schematic relays are shown (unless noted otherwise) in the relaxed or not energized condition. The contact arm is resting on the circle (or ball). On the opposite side is a triangle. This triangle represents the energized contact. The term I heard was "Pull to Point - Fall to Ball". It seems simple enough, doesn't it?

YES it does, thanks for that tip Mark!
