Abstract: 24,107. Hamilton, J. B. Oct. 18. Centrifugal speed indicators with means for controlling motors &c.-Apparatus for indicating the speed of a vehicle, or the distance traversed, or both, is provided with means for preventing the speed from exceeding a predetermined limit. A flexible shaft 2, driven from the road wheels &c., is connected to a gear-wheel 4, which meshes with a toothed wheel 5 on a shaft 6 carrying a centrifugal governor 7. The governor operates an indicator 30 through gearing 29. The wheel 5 also meshes with a toothed wheel 9 on a shaft 10 carrying one member 12 of a clutch. The other member 13 of the clutch is mounted on a shaft which actuates, through a train of wheels, a drum 22. On this drum is wound a flexible connexion 23. which is attached to the brake, throttle, &c. The members 12, 13 of the clutch are put into engagement when the speed limit is reached by means of levers 43, 44, which are operated by a lever 29<a> connected to the governor. The clutch member 13 is moved by a lever 38 on a cross shaft 39 having arms 41, 42 at each end, and levers 43, 44, which are mounted on the arms 41, 42 and project into the casing A, are normally held clear of the lever 29<a> by springs 45, but are set to the required position by means of an actuating-device which consists of a ring 32 mounted on a flange 31. The ring has a handle 35 projecting through slots in the casing, and has also lateral arms 33, 34. In the central position, the arms are inoperative, but when the handle 35 is moved to one side, one or other of the arms 33, 34 engages one of the levers 43, 44 to depress it. The arms 43, 44 are of different lengths to enable the apparatus to be set for two different speed limits. When three predetermined speeds are desired, a cam carried by the ring 32 sets the lever 43. The distance indicator or odometer may be driven from the flexible shaft 2.
