[GreenKeys] Western Union Motor Control Relay ?

[Larry Tighe]

Jim,

My WU machines have a very "strange" heavy relay mounted horizontally in the 
rear of the machine.  I'll get a pix of it and send.  The contacts are no 
longer connected and appear large enuf to handle motor current.  It's next 
to a screw in fuse.
