What's it called, & where can I buy it ?

| Hi,
I'm looking for a source for 'contact strip' like the one a passenger
presses on the bus in the UK to signal to the driver to halt at the
next bus stop.
Does anyone know the correct name for this, & where I can purchase some
?.
TIA,
woodglass...

The cool way of doing this is to use Quantum Tunnelling Cable.
It works really well - I use it on robot's bumpers..

They're called 'Tapeswitches.' They're made, appropriately enough,
by a company called 'Tapeswitch.' You can find their web site here.

I took a quick look. It appears that they manufacture all kinds of
the things, including sensing bumpers useful for robotics projects.
Happy hunting.
