What is this "conductive mesh" that you mention? I'd like to see this. What 
is the maximum length of the mesh? How are you making the resistive element? 
I remember Moe giving us (me) a rather good description of the mechanics of 
his old Moog ribbon. As I recall, the ribbon was suspended above the 
resistive strip by a spring mechanism.

Glad you're still thinking of it!
