Abstract

Apparatus for detecting the speed of an electric motor that forms part of a web transport system employs a bridge circuit adapted to measure the back emf of the motor. Thermally induced changes to the armature resistance of the motor are compensated for by varying the bridge resistances, such changes being identified by comparing the bridge circuit signal output with a reference signal.
