Abstract
An apparatus and method that allows a user to exert a force to control a motive machine. The exerted force is transferred by a force transferring means to force sensors which detect the amount and direction in which the force is exerted. The force sensors convert the applied force into an electrical signal which is used to control the motive features of a machine.
