Switching Puzzle

I'm looking for an article on how to build a switching puzzle that appeared in MR some time ago. I have the Issue of the magazine but I can't remember which one it is in. Can anyone give me some help in finding it? I have two Nephews, age 6, that I would like to build copies for. Thanks, John

Have you tried using the Mag Index on the upper left of this page? I tried to find John Allen's switching contest puzzle but couldn't get any results,hopefully you will have better luck.

Use a web search engine (google, or whatever) and search for "John Allen" and "timesaver" - timesaver was the name of the layout for some reason. You should find several versions of track plans, etc.

John Allen's original Timesaver article was in November 1972 MR, page 66.
