Abstract
A mirror housing is provided with two motor driven gear nuts each of which comprises a conductive material which however has a high resistance, and each of which engages a conductive wiper and threads on a respective screw shaft non-rotationally coupled to a mirror holder, one gear nut being operable in a direction to tilt a mirror in an horizontal plane and the other in a direction to tilt a mirror in a vertical plane, and conductors contact the ends of the gear nuts, so that when a voltage is applied across them, the voltage on the conductive wiper will be a function of the positions of the screw shafts in their nuts, thereby constituting position sensing means.
