>>> the wiper inside the pot. from what I can tell.
>As Occam indicates that the probability that "." is more likely a typo, 

Actually the dot is because I belive the word pot to be short for 
potentiometer and I thought that if you chop it off you add the dot 
to indicate you have cut it short. Maybe thats wrong to do in English.


>  You are probably correct that ...
Right again =)

Right again =)
Contact finger... ok, that is what I thought wiper was.


>two pots which are being commoned, 
Its three pots. They share power (24v) and ground (0v). Their outsignals
are separate. Eletrically they are ordinary, its mechanically they differ
from plain rotary pots.
