The
HobbsTM Proportional Retarder is a shift-lever handle that
attaches to the steering column of a vehicle and gives an electronic pulse-width-modulated
output signal that is proportional to the position of the lever. In standard
mounting position, out- put signal has 10% duty cycle when lever is pulled
towards operator to maximum extent. When moved away from operator to its
maximum travel, the lever snaps into a detent indicating the output signal
now has 90% duty cycle. The duty cycle between these two positions is
a continuously variable function of position.
