Plate 110:  Installing a Hornby Point Motor: where the wires go, Part 6
(This plate added OCT 2003)

This view introduces the black wire that is attached to the Hornby R8014 Point Motor. The red, green, and black wires that emerge from the point motor (see Plate 104) have all been pushed down through a hole in the R8015 base plate, and then through another hole drilled through the plywood roadbed under the base plate. We are concentrating upon the black wire in this view, not the red or the green. The black wire can be seen protruding beneath the roadbed, casting a shadow upon the photographer's white backdrop board.
