Abstract
Apparatus for adjustably positioning a supported transducer in sensing relation with recorded indicia on a shaft encoder in which a first frame portion is fixed and a second movable portion carrying the transducer is attached to the frame portion through a flexure means with the flexure means being on the opposite side of the shaft from the transducer and the movement of the transducer and path of indicia being at the same radius from the center of said shaft substantially decreasing the number of components formerly used, which enables highly accurate adjustments and lends itself to fabrication by molding.
