How does it measure EPR (thrust) - by revolutions or ?
EPR, being Engine Pressure ratio, is measured by measuring various air pressures inside (and outside) the engine and calculating their ratio.

The general layout is similar to that in the GE engines, an Ad on which system was dissected here at some length a while ago. The RR system is analagous, but of course different in detail.
