    …of what is called a linear-displacement transducer, or linear potentiometer. For practical use, such transducers employ wire-wound, thin-film, or printed circuits to allow for a long resistor within a relatively small device. The longer the resistor, the greater the drop in voltage passing through the device; thus, changes in position…
