In the transmission of measurement data from a rotating body to a stationary receiver, a rotary signal transmitter mounted on a rotating shaft employs a printed circuit. A printed circuit board assembly for the rotary transmitter has a plurality of evenly circumferentially distributed printed circuit boards which have their electronic components facing radially inwardly so as to resist damage due to centrifugal force resulting when the shaft and boards rotate. Connecting wires connect the assembly to a temperature sensor and the signal corresponding to the temperature is transmitted via a light-emitting element to a light-sensitive element of the receiver. Another arrangement employs rotationally balanced printed circuit discs extending radially. Multiplexing means may also be provided.
