what kind of relay does Pete Cornish use? (pics inside)

[mr_doyle]

Hello,

i have seen these pictures on a website (http://www.4x12.com) and i was wondering what kind/brand of relay was used on this interface: anybody knows?





Also, i see diodes and caps in parallel with coils, could it be the only thing he has done to avoid bumps?

Last but not least, Cornish' stuff always seems a piece of art to me!!!

Thanks!! D.

I've seen those before and normally avoided them, because of their size. Relays need some distance from each other, to not "turn each other on" so to speak.

I use the standard variety of Omron or Finder relays, which seems to work fine for my purpose. I've measured them, and the resistance is pratically nill. Any inductive or capacitive properties will have to be investigated.
