1951 Ignition switch wiring question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My '51 truck has the original ignition switch in working condition, even have keys, just no wires

It is a 2 position switch and has 3 connections on the back, none have any markings. I've searched the list, looked thru the Assembly and Shop manuals without finding any 'it's clear to me' information. I will be using a start button in the circuit between the starter solenoid and the key.

Would someone please explain how this 3 post ignition key is supposed to be wired ?
