[net.micro] Positioning/tracking controls

hes@ecsvax.UUCP (Henry Schaffer) (12/12/84)

I just received a catalog covering mainly joysticks and trackballs.
Joystick categories {force, displacement} * {finger, hand} operation.
There are also 3-axis joysticks (as well as the usual 2-axis) with
twisting the joystick for the third axis.
There are also varieties of trackballs differing especially in
size (intertia) and resolution (count per ball revolution)..  They
all are labeled "incremental controls".
Included is one block shaped 3-button mouse.
The company is:Measurement Systems Inc.  121 Water St. Norwalk CT

Be warned:  Measurement Systems seems to be accustomed to selling mostly
to the military and aerospace markets.  This means good hardware, but at
prices that will make your hair stand on end.
