Abstract: A device for measuring the movement of a motor vehicle with a speedometer (11, 13) which produces a control signal when it is determined that the speed has exceeded a predetermined limit. A distance gauge (11, 15) is equipped with a release mechanism (14) which is activated by the control signal so that a record can be made of the distance driven only when such a control signal is received from the speedometer. The distance gauge (11, 15) is preferably equipped with a connecting device (14) which permits a stepwise or continuous increase in the weighting of distance registration following increased speed above the first, predetermined limit.

Abstract: A flyweight governor valve assembly having a fluid pressure modulator valve element mounted within a valve chamber for axial movement, a first set of primary and secondary weights mounted on a valve sleeve that forms a part of the governor valve assembly, a second set of primary and secondary weights mounted on said sleeve for rotation about the axis of said valve assembly. A spring acting between the primary and secondary weights of each set of weights, the primary weight for one set being separated from its corresponding second weight at a first brake point speed and a primary weight of the second set of weights being separated from its associated second weight at a second brake point speed, each set of weights being pivotally carried by a lever, the operating end of which engages the valve element whereby centrifugal force acting on said weight are translated to axial shifting movement of said valve element to oppose fluid pressure forces acting thereon.
