Abstract
A scale loop formed by a loop trace of electrically conductive material is usable in an induced current position transducer. The scale loop is continuous and has a particular shape depending on the configuration of the induced current position transducer. The scale loop is not in contact with other highly conductive materials. The dimensions of the cross-section of the conducting trace are chosen to increase the transfer of energy through the transducer.
