There's switches that do just that already on the market. There's one made by 
Knitter Switch, in Germany, that costs about $3 each, or a somewhat more 
expensive version by Alps for about $5 per. Both send a single pulse across pins 
A-B if turned one way and across pins B-C if turned the other. 

My pit uses Knitter switches. They're not 100% what I wanted, to be honest. 
If you turn them too fast, the contacts skip and you miss pulses. At some point 
I'm going to buy a couple of the Alps switches and see if they're better.
