Abstract
A reversible electric motor is caused to modulate a load in response to an off-on condition responsive device, such as a thermostat. The thermostat completes an electric circuit through an electric heater which in turn supplies heat to a bimetal. The time constant of the bimetal and heater provides a modulating action to a three position motor control switch means which has a center open position. The motor provides a follow-up action through a cam or similar mechanism to rebalance and control an appropriate load, such as a temperature altering medium source.
