Actually, when Sabre first started, this was not true, but now it is. The trouble is it would not pass control. If it doesn't work for Foil, then it is illegal for Sabre.

Right...on a 2 pin socket you simply remove one of the insulators onteh B line so there is metal contact between the retaining nut at the socket bracket. (you have to do a little more with with the insulators on an Uhlmann type one).

Power comes in the B line and straight across the bracket to the C line and ground instead of going up the wire and down the blade like on a foil circuit.

'Course, if you put this modified socket on a foil, you'll have a circuit that won't break...

The other thing to do is switch the B & C wires in the weapon end of the bodycord. Or elsewhere, I suppose.
