(under subclass 68) Subject matter wherein the element is formed of a plurality of layers of resistance material which layers are piled or stacked transversely to the direction of current flow through the resistance element, i.e., so that the current flowing through the resistance element will flow from pile to pile.
(1) Note. Usually the resistance element is formed of a plurality of plates or disks of resistance material which are connected together directly or through other plates or disks of conductive material. The plates or disks are piled transversely along the length of the element, as between the resistance terminals or transversely to the path of movement of a contact moving along the resistance element.
