Since I missed out on the beginning of the thread, what are you doing,
anyway? If you just need to measure linear motion, I'd attach a rotary
pot to a plate, stick a pulley on the shaft, and wrap kevlar thread
around the pulley. If there's less than 360º of rotation you can stake
the thread down or use a ball chain, strip of thin nylon, or a bazillion
other things that are flexible, but have very low elasticity.

In other words, been there, done that ;)

Now back to cutting 14 TPI threads, which sucks... hard... with both
hands.
