Abstract: A system having a vacuum source, a pressure source and a pressure operated control device. A pneumatically operated control unit is provided for increasing a pressure signal from the pressure source to the device as the value of the pressure of the pressure source increases from a first value to a second value and for thereafter decreasing the pressure signal from the pressure source to the device as the value of the pressure of the pressure source further increases from the second value thereof to a third value thereof, the control unit producing the signal in substantially the same manner but at different values for different levels of vacuum at the vacuum source thereof. The control unit can include a temperature responsive valve for substantially linearly changing the magnitude of the signal to the device in relation to a certain temperature range.
