1. A control lever assembly for generating an electrical signal representative of the position of a linearly-moveable control lever, comprising:

  • a bracket;

    a control lever guide coupled to the bracket for rotational movement about an axis parallel to the direction of linear movement of the control lever, the guide including an arm for rotating the guide about the axis between a plurality of rotational positions, the guide having an opening with a longitudinal slot associated with each rotational position, each longitudinal slot having a predetermined length within which the control lever is positionable, wherein the range of linear movement of the control lever depends upon the rotational position of the guide; and

    a sensing circuit coupleable to the control lever and configured to generate the electrical signal representative of the position of the control lever.
