The wiring diagram shown in the Boxford manual, for Dewhurst switches, is the standard Dewhurst wiring as shown by Myford etc and issued with the switch when new. Connected through a terminal block.

As here:

I seem to recall the wiring diagram was also affixed inside Dewhurst switches, maybe on the inside of the curved cover?

What most of these diagrams omit is an earth connection to the lathe bed itself. It is all too easy to ignore this and should a lead lamp, angle poise etc etc 'crash' onto the lathe, the lathe becomes live, your fingers are on the topside handle and suddenly you are the connection to earth!! Hmmm!
