DEFINITION

Classification: 338/97

(under subclass 92) Subject matter wherein the resistance element has portions extending in parallel spaced relationship and a conducting bridge extending between the parallel portions being movable lengthwise therealong.

(1) Note. In this subclass the bridging element shorts a single resistance element, while in subclasses 125+ a plurality of resistance elements are connected by a unitary movable bridge.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

125+, for variable resistors wherein a plurality of resistance elements are bridged by a unitary movable contact. See also (1) Note above.
