Abstract
Through dual push-pull cables, two-dimensional positioning motions and accompanying forces of an actuator device, such as a motor truck gear shift lever, are transmitted to a remote actuated device, such as the gear selector and shifter mechanism in the truck transmission. Interconnected by the cables, matched motion translators in master and slave units are rotationally and translationally guided in their respective units so as to transform two-dimensionally defined actuator motion applied to the master unit into motion components for transmission by the dual connecting cables to the slave unit, where the lineal cable motions are transformed back into a duplication of the actuator motion with accompanying forces effective to selectively operate the actuated device connected to the slave unit translator member.
