If anyone knows how to search files at the patent office, and would like to use the thing, contact me and I'll try to dredge up the info. (No guarantees though, I've been in my new house since September and there still are many unpacked boxes!) I think I called it (in the patent papers) "A Zero Degree Position Sensor". It was granted a patent around the 1971 - 73 time-frame. Whether it can be applied as a static position sensor would take a little investigation. That was a long time ago and the memory does grow a bit foggy over time.
