ABSTRACT:
A variable position detent mechanism for latching a control lever at an infinite number of operating positions includes a semi-circular member connected to a support so that its axis coincides with the pivot of the control lever. An electric detent coil is connected to the lever at a location adjacent the semi-circular member so that energizing the detent coil magnetically latches the lever to the semi-circular member.
