Control apparatus

A control apparatus comprising:

• a lever configured to be tilted;
• a strip-shaped first resistor extending in a first direction on a surface of a board;
• a first operatively connected member configured to rotate as the lever is tilted;
• and
• a first holder holding a first slider, the first holder sliding the first slider on a surface of the first resistor by moving in the first direction via a first drive transmitting portion as the first operatively connected member rotates,
• wherein the first drive transmitting portion includes:
• a first protrusion integrated with the first holder and protruding in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
• and
• a first engaging portion integrated with the first operatively connected member and including a pair of clamping pieces that clamps the first protrusion from opposite sides in the first direction, and
• wherein the first protrusion includes a protruding portion having a third direction component perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction and protruding between the pair of clamping pieces.
