Abstract
A pulse generator includes a code plate which is provided with a plurality of grounding land portions and a plurality of pulse generating land portions having a potential different from a potential of the grounding land portions, arranged in a direction of rotation about a specific position, and a pair of interconnected contact terminals which are rotated in one direction about the specific position of the code plate to come successively into contact with the grounding land port ions and the pulse generating land portions. The positional relationship between the contact terminals and the grounding land portions and the pulse generating land portions is such that when one of the contact terminals comes into contact with the pulse generating land portions during the rotation of the contact terminals, the other contact terminal is brought into contact with the grounding land portion.
