Abstract: A control circuit for a diesel engine starting system including an air intake heating starting aid and a fuel preheater, includes a first delay circuit for operating the preheater and a second delay circuit for operating an indicator. A selector switch has an off position in which the two delay circuits are not utilized, a first on position in which the first delay circuit is overridden and the indicator carries on after a delay determined only by the second delay circuit, and a second on position in which the first delay circuit operates to switch on the fuel preheater after a delay during which the starting aid device is operating and the second delay circuit turns on the indicator after a further delay.

Abstract: A road vehicle electrical system includes a plurality of switches controlling remote loads. The system makes use of voltage sensitive control devices which are operated in synchronism to connect each switch to its load periodically via a conductor which is common to all the load/switch control circuits. A further common conductor conveys a control voltage signal in the form of a repeated staircase wave form to all the control devices. Analogue signal generators and detectors may also share the common conductor under the control of the same wave form generator.

Abstract: A direction indicator control circuit for a road vehicle has a switch means for operating the direction indicator lamps to indicate a turn, and a pulse generator operated by return movement of the steering wheel following completion of a turn, the pulse generator producing a pulse of fixed length which serves to cancel the switch means. A pair of switches are associated with each turning direction, each pair being successively operated by the turning of the steering wheel in one order during the initiation of a turn, and in the reverse order after the completion of the turn. The pulse generator produces the fixed length pulse only when the switches are actuated in the correct order, thereby eliminating erroneous turn indicator information.

Abstract: A control circuit for a double acting electromagnet has two capacitors connecting opposite ends of the electromagnet to one supply line. The ends of the electromagnet can also be connected to the other supply line by way of a two position contact and a normally open switch. The capacitors control energisation of the electromagnet.
