Abstract
A gear reduction mechanism is provided with a rotatable shaft supported by a pair of spaced apart bearings in a one piece retainer having coaxially aligned holes for receiving said bearings. A potentiometer is supported from the same retainer and is provided with an input axle adjustably connected to the shaft to provide an output signal indicative of the angular position of the shaft. The adjustment may take place through a vent hole in the housing of the mechanism which has a removable filter therein.
