This will probably make more sense if you draw it out. A light has two wires running to it. The switch breaks one of the lines. Draw two lines on a sheet of paper about 2 inches long. Draw a small circle in the middle to represent a light. Extend one of the lines to the light. To the side extend the other line to a box that represents the first switch. From that switch draw two lines to the second switch. Draw one line from the second switch back to the light. That completes the circuit. Power comes into the first switch on the single line and then through one of the two lines between the two switches and out the final single line to the light. It can use either of the two center lines depending on which way the switches are flipped. This makes sense to me, but it may be Greek to you. If you follow the drawing I think it should make sense.

What is a detent switch?

What alteration would occur if a single pole switch is reconnected to become a master switch?
If a single pole switch is wired to be a master switch, the switch would have to be in the on position for any other control devices to operate. Turning the master switch off would eliminate power to all devices (and/or loads) which it was serving. For example, some homes have a switch to control their outside light. If the outside light has a photo eye (the light will only come on at night), the switch is the master switch. Another example would be the breakers in an electrical panel. Each breaker would be the "master switch" for the circuit it protects. The main breaker in the panel would be the "master switch" for the entire home.
Installing An Emergency Generator With A DPDT Switch?
Some emergency generators can be installed in a home using a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) transfer switch. A DPDT switch basically prevents the emergency generator from pushing power into the utility grid where it can cause a fire or can injure a utility worker. A home that does not have a DPDT transfer switch will need to use another type of emergency generator that runs independently of the electrical wiring in the home.

How do you ground a switch?
Home toggle switches that you use in the home do not have the capacity to be grounded by a screw terminal. The frame that holds the switch mechanism is automatically brought to ground potential when is is screwed into the switch's junction box . The screw that holds the switch in the box goes through a metal plate that is grounded in the back of the junction box by the circuit's ground wire that is connected to it. Larger disconnect switches may be grounded by the conduit system that it is connected into or a separate ground wire is taken from the system grounding grid and connected to the switch enclosure. These types of connections involve using a lug and wire that is sized by the electrical code depending on what the size of the switch is in amperage and what the calculated fault current could be.
