Abstract
A control for selectively controlling operation of left and right side drives for providing a selective steering drive of a vehicle. The control includes a single manually operable control lever and mounting structure for transmitting selective movement of the control lever through suitable push-pull linkages to the vehicle drives. The control is arranged to effect a change in the gain of output lever portions thereof in effecting the desired controlled steering operation of the drives. The change in gain is controlled by the engagement of rollers associated with the control lever against output levers associated one each with the push-pull linkages and left and right side vehicle drives.
