A nonrepeating N bit chain code embodied in a scale on the movable member runs along the axis. A detector fixed to the stationary member is positioned to sense a portion of the chain code. The detector has K elements (KN) generating a plurality of signals. A controller determines the position of the movable member relative to the stationary member as a function of the signals.
