Abstract
Abstract A pair of electrical coils, which are disposed in a magnetic flux field, are constrained for movement in intersecting paths in a plane. A mechanical coupling assembly has a first part connected to one of said coils and to a second part of said assembly. The other of said coils is connected to said second part. A displaceable member is also connected to said second part and has a single position in a plane for each combination of positions of the coils along their respective paths.
