Abstract
A manually controlled ball is rotatable in any direction at variable speeds to operate a pair of perpendicular rotatable shafts. Each shaft is rotated at a speed of and direction dependent upon the direction and speed of rotation of the manually operated ball. An encoder disk is mounted on each shaft. The direction and speed of the disk rotation is translated into electrical signals.
