The description relates to devices that can include a base assembly, upper assembly, an arm, and a conductor. In one example the base assembly can include a base shaft and the upper assembly can include an upper shaft. The arm can be secured to the base shaft and the upper shaft to translate a range of rotation of the arm around the base shaft to rotation around the display shaft. The conductor can extend from the base assembly into the arm parallel to the base shaft and extend from the arm into the upper assembly parallel to the upper shaft.
