1. A position sensor comprising:

  • a resistive element positionable on a first surface;

    a pair of leads on the resistive element, the pair of leads adapted to supply a first voltage;

    an intermediate lead on the resistive element between the pair of leads, the intermediate lead adapted to provide a second voltage; and

    a contact element positionable on a second surface, the contact element adapted to contact at least a portion of the resistive element to detect a voltage at a contact position, the detected voltage being related to the position or movement of the second surface relative to the first surface.
