ABSTRACT:
This invention concerns an electrical mechanical instrument transducer which accurately detects the direction of an externally applied force and more particularly, though by no means exclusively, transducer apparatus that provides an electrical signal commensurate to the direction of force or forces resulting from two-dimensional hydrodynamic flow such as waves, currents and tides. A toroidal resistive element and thin resilient wire electrical contact wiper provide accurate and sensitive, yet rugged and reliable transducer operation.
