 Atlas machine contacts = Left, Center/Common, Right.

First push button contacts = A, B.

Second push button contacts = D, E.

Power supply contacts = 1, 2.

 

 

Button contacts A & D are wired together and go to power supply contact 1.

Switch machine contact C is wired to power supply contact 2.

Then button contact B goes to switch machine contact L.

Then button contact E goes to switch machine contact R.

That wiring diagram is not correct. Follow the wiring - soon as you press one of the button, you short the power supply ! This is how it should look ....

I belive this diagram has some problems.  The black common wire should NOT go to the push buttons.  As shown when one presses either button there is a short circuit.     Not to mention that both solenoids would be on all the time.  The only time common power should go to a push button is to power the lights if they are illuminated.

you're right
