APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING DISPLACEMENT OF A DEVICE FORMED WITH ELECTRIC CURRENT CONDUCTING MEANS RELATIVE TO A FIXED REFERENCE POINT COMPRISING AN ALTERNATING-CURRENTWAVEFORM ELECTRIC POWER SOURCE CONNECTED WITH THE CURRENT CONDUCTING MEANS OF THE DEVICE FOR INDUCING CURRENT FLOW THERETHROUGH TO PRODUCE AN ALTERNATING-CURRENT-WAVEFORM MAGNETIC FIELD OF A PREDETERMINED FREQUENCY AND HAVING AN ARCUATE MAGNETIC FIELD COMPONENT SPATIALLY FIXED RELATIVE TO THE DEVICE SAID DEVICE BEING INITIALLY POSITIONED AT SAID FIXED REFERENCE POINT, AND A HALL-EFFECT DEVICE DISPOSED IN FIXED RELATIONSHIP TO SAID FIXED REFERENCE POINT AND ELECTROMAGNETICALLY COUPLED WITH THE MAGNETIC FIELD AND BEING OPERATED TO PRODUCE A HALL-VOLTAGE OUTPUT SIGNAL OF ALTERNATING CURRENT WAVEFORM AT THE PREDETERMINED FREQUENCY AND WHICH SIGNAL IS RELATED TO THE MAGNETIC FIELD, SAID HALL-EFFECT DEVICE BEING POSITIONED WITH THE MAGNETIC AXIS THEREOF PERPENDICULAR TO SAID ARCUATE MAGNETIC FIELD COMPONENT WHEN THE DEVICE IS AT SAID FIXED REFERENCE POINT TO PROVIDE A ZERO OUTPUT SIGNAL WHEN THE DEVICE IS AT SAID FIXED REFERENCE POINT AND A POLARIZEDVOLTAGE OUTPUT SIGNAL WHEN THE DEVICE IS DISPLACED FROM SAID FIXED REFERENCE POINT.
