Abstract
During plural rotations of the the first potentiometer as a result of the operation of a steering wheel, though a specific position of the first potentiometer corresponds to plural rotation angles or rotation numbers of the steering wheel, the correct, real or current rotational angle or rotational number of the steering wheel can be obtained by knowing a one-to-one correspondence between a specific position of the second potentiometer and the reduced rotational angle of the steering wheel.
