Abstract
A torque control system designed to economize on consumed fuel includes a source of motive power, a load and a transmission coupling the motive power to the load. A torque measuring device is attached to the output of the transmission and senses a torque applied to the load. The output of the torque sensor is compared with electrical analogs of optimized torque situations. The comparison results in the development of a control voltage which is applied to the source of motive power and the transmission to effect optimization of torque control.
