Abstract
A system for establishing the speed of an electric motor, particularly a direct current motor. The principal use is in the control of a drive motor for a photocomposition machine font disc. The speed is controlled by spacing pulses of power to the motor. The pulses are derived from a central output of a left shift--right shift register. Shift in one direction is obtained from a uniform clock source, and in the opposed direction from a generator responsive to motor speed. When the motor speed causes the register to shift left beyond the control output, power is cut off and the motor slows. Slowing will allow right shift and a renewal of power pulses.
