Very important to know. If it says "Bronson Michigan" it is a Douglas and the inside is marked a little different:

This will hopefully save someone out there some grief. It took me a while to figure out how the Douglas is marked different than the Warner. The books all reference the Warner so it is confusing when wiring everything up. Here is a conversion chart I made so I could quickly relate the connections in the book to the way the Douglas switch was labeled. My chart says Bronson because that was before I learned it was a Douglas. A Douglas will say Bronson on it.
