                                  . switch. The normal valvo of setpoint is 3.S + .053 psig. A modif-ication has been made to the Barton switch. I'new switch plate lacking device to prevent setpoint drift has been installed. (AOR 74-1) . This modification should reduce setpoint drift problems with this switch.
