		Each motor is mounted at about a 45 degree angle, drive end down, into a gear reduction case which is pinned through a yoke attached to the floor pan. Fig. 78, allowing the entire unit to float as necessary when operating the top mechanism. A pinion on the drive end of the motor engages a large gear attached to the end of a worm shaft. The tubular main arm of the top control mechanism contains internal worm threads and the worm threading in and out of this tubular arm produces the action necessary to lower and raise the top. The magnetic switch unit is attached to the floor pan under the rear seat cushion. Fig. 79 shows this unit with the cover removed. Figure 80 shows the complete wiring diagram for the power-operated top. Figure 65, passenger car wiring diagram, shows the points at which the power-operated top circuits join the regular passenger car circuits.
