Your switch is a momentary two pole switch. Each pole has two contacts. One set of those contacts is normally open. And the other pole set of contacts are normally closed.

When you push the switch..............the pole that was open will close..........and the pole that was closed will open.

So with a push or the release of a push......you get two functions or two actions.

i believe i understand now. i was just having a difficult time understanding the way this switch works.

 

ok......keep the greasy side down.

Portrayed schematically like this.

Max.

 

why would i connect anything to the nc posts?

You need to reverse the motor polarity to reverse the direction of the motor, unless you have a different way to do that.

i don't but i understand now. Thank you for all of your help. it is greatly appreciated.

Actually that's kind of an oddball configuration (not DPDT as you labeled it).
It's sort of a cross between SPDT (with two terminals tied together), and DPST (but with out-of-phase contacts for the two poles).
So I guess it's called "NO-NC" as it states above the figure.
