The counter is a CMOS decade counter that has only one output high for each
count. There is only one analog switch on at a time. The counter is reset
when it hits the value 5 so it jumps back to 0 to start over.
The analog switch is bidirectional and I don't think there are any problems
with signal polarity.
You could use a binary counter and a real analog mux for this circuit and get a
lot of inputs but these were the parts I had.
Thanks for the input. Mike G.

| (...) Looks good! How about using the third input port to assert the reset line and set the counter back to zero? Is your counter set up as a binary counter? From your diagram it looks like there are times that more than one sensor would be active (...) (26 years ago, 12-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
