I changed this from a redirect to a disambugation page because there's a couple different meanings for the term.

Do "servo amplifier" or "servo drive" belong here? (eg. does one ever just say "servo" in conversation, and mean it as a shortcut for "servo amplifier"?) These seem like an exercise in free-association to me (eg. Book (disambiguation) is not meant to list every article whose name starts with "book"), though I'm not a subject expert. --Interiot 15:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Interiot. This page should go straight to "servo" as in "servomechanism" the Servo amplifier, RC Servo, and Servo drive pages aren't very useful. And the "Another device commonly referred to as a servo is used in automobiles..." is pretty trivial.--Openman 21:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Openman is right, a servo in automobiles is usually referred to as the Brake servo, a device that uses vacuum pressure from the inlet manifold of an engine to assist the driver in applying the brakes. I thing a better definition of just "servo" needs to be employed rather than Servo mechanical, servo controller, etc.--188.65.97.65 (talk) 10:00, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
