Abstract: A multipolar resolver is so constructed that the need of the conventionally indispensable coil on the resolver rotor is eliminated by providing a center coil on a stator, and 5n or 3n rotor poles and 4n stator poles are provided where n is a positive integer. Sine and consine coils are wound on the stator poles alternately, thus simplifying the construction of the multipolar resolver.

Abstract: A reading system for a hybrid A-D converter having, in combination, code disk A-D converters for converting an analog quantity such as a rotation angle or the like into a digital quantity and a neighborhood absolute value detector such as an inductosyn, a resolver or the like for providing the absolute value of a rotation within a small range thereof to, thereby extend the neighborhood absolute value region. Each of the code disk A-D converters supplies an output signal l and a carry signal Cr(1) which is generated depending on whether an output signal from a lower order code disk A-D converter is included in a predetermined upper group to a corresponding one of the logical circuits which are provided so as to correspond in number to the code-disk A-D converters. The logical circuit performing the logical operation L = l .multidot. (Cr.multidot.l-1+Cr.multidot.l+1) provides a signal representative of one digit whereby the outputs from the A-D converters are prevented from errors upon carrying.
