Guess it&#8217;ll work. Here are some pictures.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, so far, so good. That&#8217;s all I can say at the moment. The rotary gage is operational, though it hasn&#8217;t had brushes made for it and it seems to output a reasonable amount of voltage difference based on displacement. &#8230; <a href="http://smackaay.com/2008/11/30/the-rotary-torque-sensor-continued/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
