Ballendo!

Am I missing something? If the 'x's are the star, and we tip the star
to open switch 'A', we still have a conductive path between the contacts
of 'B' and 'C', as the star conducts (star contacts both contacts of
each switch). We may be in series, but there is an alternate path, the
x's. Or do you see a different type of star?
