There is a need for a small multiple switch arrangement that allows selected movement of a single lever, to operate a selected one of many switches. One example is in a mobile telephone, where operation of a lever enables a list of persons that can be called, to be scrolled up by closing a first switch, to be scrolled down by closing a second switch, and with the selected person called by operating a third switch. It is desirable that other functions be switched by manipulating the lever to operate one or more additional switches. Operation of all switches with manipulation of a single lever, avoids the need for a person to move the person's hands between switches. The limited space available on mobile telephones for the switches and operating means, results in the need for a very compact multiple switching arrangement that is operable by using a single lever or other device.
