Abstract

A control rod (10) is grounded to a structure (14) at an opening (16) through which it moves longitudinally by sliding contact with a conductive wiper (18, 29, 40, or 48). The wiper is mounted to the structure (14) by conductive arms (26) and brackets (28), or by a joint (36), or by a housing (44), or by a boot (50) so that the wiper can track transverse motion of the rod (10).
