Nice valves and levers

Nice valves and levers
Call me nuts, but I just love this kind of thing. I was trying to figure out what to call the thing on the left, tried "lever," and came across this:

Oh, I did think of the term toggle switch, but got distracted and didn't look it up. I feel so vindicated, Don!
