Measurements using tunnelling current between elongate conductors

Description

Apparatus for use in measuring and/or monitoring the relative position or displacement of two elements, includes a pair of elongate electrical conductors (10, 11) adapted to be associated with the respective elements, and means (12, 13, 18) for disposing the conductors at a mutual separation such that a detectable quantum tunnelling current may be generated between them on application of an electrical potential difference between the conductors.
