1. In a controller for connecting the armature of a DC permanent magnet or shunt-type motor to a source of alternating voltage supply and varying the current supplied thereto, in combination:

  • an actuating lever, switch means responsive to a given amount of initial movement of said actuating lever to connect the controller to a source of alternating voltage supply, current control means including a controllable bidirectional semiconductor device and a control network responsive to additional movement of said actuating lever to control the flow of current through said semiconductor device during opposite half-cycles of connected alternating voltage supply in accordance with the amount of additional movement of said actuating lever, a full wave rectifier bridge connected in circuit with said semiconductor device and with the armature of a permanent magnet motor to insure current flow through such armature always in the same direction during opposite half-cycles of the alternating voltage supply, and a resistor connected across the AC input terminals of said rectifier bridge.
