Sir:

I have this morning spoken to Pratt & Whitney engineering in Montréal and they confirm that every PT6A engine has two entirely different systems for sensing torque and oil pressure, and they are at opposite ends of the engine.

Note that we are speaking about engines (prime movers), not motors.
