Abstract
A set of closely spaced, parallel conductive lines on an insulating support are located in face to face electrical contact with a corresponding set of conductive lines on a second insulating support, and a new structure is provided for adjusting the two sets of lines to match properly despite variations in the spacing between the lines of a set. The first set of lines has close, even, spacing. In the second set, the lines converge slightly from a spacing that is wider than the spacing of the first set to a spacing that is narrower than the spacing of the first set. During assembly, the position where contact occurs between the two sets is adjusted so that satisfactory electrical contact is made between each pair of lines.
