1. The method of fabricating a magnetic-encoding device having a Hall effect switch and a rotatable disc-shaped actuating magnet comprising the steps of forming an integral frame with at least two component-locating positions, one of said component-locating positions being sized to receive snugly a Hall effect switch, fitting such a switch onto said one position thereby locating said switch-relative to the second of said two positions, forming a disc-shaped permanent magnet with circumferentially alternating poles on its periphery and a predetermined outer diameter, mounting said magnet for rotation about its axis to said second position with its periphery adjacent to said Hall effect switch, said second portion serving to locate said magnet relative to said switch whereby said frame and said two component-locating positions serve to locate and position said switch and magnet relative to each other with a minimum of dimensional tolerance therebetween.
