Abstract

An apparatus (1) is described for determining the angle of a first rotatable body which coacts with two further rotatable bodies. The angle of the two further bodies can be measured, and the angle of the first body can be calculated therefrom. According to the present invention, means are provided with which simultaneous measurement of the angles of the two further bodies can be achieved. The accuracy of the determination of the angle of the first body is thereby improved.
