Abstract
An electric motor with output reduction gearing such as is provided for windshield wipers, is operated in response to a vehicle speed control system and is coupled through an electromagnetically operated clutch to a worm gear drive providing further reduction gearing that controls the accelerator pedal of a vehicle engine through a cable drum and a cable connection. When the electromagnetic clutch is released the compression spring of the accelerator pedal restores the latter and the drum and worm gear connected thereto to the engine-idling position. A resistance strip on the driven clutch member is sensed by a wiper contact to indicate or check on the position of the accelerator control and components moveable therewith.
