the sales rep. one can purchase mag. tape and sensors without all of
the other trimmings (readouts, etc.). Strips are available in
lengths up to 90 meters and can be cut to desired length. Strips
can be stuck to curved surface for rotatory readout. Also they have

and then back on the absolute position is still known from the
strip. This post is for general interest....rfs/wa8fsf.
