DEFINITION

Classification: 180/172

Including device responsive to centrifugal force:

(under subclass 170) Vehicle wherein the means includes a device for sensing the outward force resulting from imparting curvilinear or rotational movement to a mass and for reacting (e.g, by developing a control signal or force) to that force.

(1) Note. While rotating weights driven at a speed proportional to that of the vehicle's motor presently predominate as the device of this subclass, included also, for example, is the pendulum of a curve compensator (i.e., a refinement to the regulating means for automatically adjusting the "set" speed of the means to changes in the course of the roadway along which the vehicle is traveling).
