When he was in college my brother bought a station wagon to put the engine in his Mustang. He also took the floor switch out of the parts car, and used it as a floor mounted switch
for his wipers.

Need I tell you that he was going to school to be an engineer?

My dad used one of those old dimmer switches to connect the basement stairway lights back in the early 60's. He installed it in the floor at the top of the stairs so you could step on it when you were carrying a load of firewood down to the basement. It was still working when they sold the farm.
