almost there..

The 'Q' pot head fed pitot statics to the 'Q' pot for elevator feel and the rudder limiter..(2 seperate buckets)

Below 160 knts the rudder limiter would be fully withdrawn allowing the full +-25 deg of rudder deflection.....unless the bomb doors were open... then the electrical actuator would extend the stopped cone to the 4th stop and limit deflection to about +- 9 deg (this would equate to approx 205 knts)

Above 160 knts the pitot static rudder limiter would progressively reduce deflection to +-4 deg by about 280-300 knts.
