Abstract
A spring-loaded cartridge or capsule forms a connecting link for inclusion in the accelerator-throttle linkage of an internal combustion engine to convert such linkage to a changeable length linkage which permits an overriding governing action to close the throttle against the action of the accelerator without significant effect on the operation or feel of the accelerator. The operation or feel of the accelerator is not affected because the spring-loading of the cartridge is only slightly stronger than the normal throttle-closing spring which constantly urges the throttle toward its closed position.
