Abstract
Disclosed is a control system for controlling at least one device from either first or second operating control stations. The system comprises a first body member that has one end connected to the device by suitable means such as a push-pull cable and the other end rotatably mounted on a frame. A second body member is rotatably mounted on the first body member in such a manner as to rotate in the plane of rotation of the first body member. The second body member is connected separately to the first and second control stations by suitable means such as push-pull cables and has securement means associated therewith such that movement of the controls at the first station causes the second body member to secure the controls at the second station while controlling the device by rotating the first body member in an opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the second body member and movement of the controls at the second station causes the second body member to secure the controls at the first station while controlling the device by rotating the first body member in the same direction as the second body member.
