ABSTRACT:
The extent to which a throttle can be opened is determined in accordance with a "lowest wins" philosophy. This is achieved by a transmission mechanism disposed between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve and comprising an interlock collar fast with a rotatable shaft for operating the valve, a spring normally urging the shaft in a direction to open the valve, and first and second input collars rotatably mounted on the shaft and coupled respectively to the pedal and to a motor device operable in response to signals from electronic means in accordance with at least one appropriate parameter. The input collars are arranged to co-operate unit the interlock collar in a manner such that the angular position of the interlock collar is determined by the position of that one input collar what has moved by the smaller distance from a given retracted position.
