ABSTRACT:
Control apparatus, such as an aircraft throttle box, includes a manual control member 8 linearly movable on a first shaft 2. The position of the control member is sensed by rotation of the shaft 2 to generate an output control signal. In order to balance the apparatus, especially against high g-forces, a second shaft 3 is provided, parallel to the first carrying a counterweight 13 that moves together with the control member 8, but in the opposite direction.
