INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

81

If the lever is operated in directions that are inclined with re-
spect to the machine axis, simultaneous movements propor-
tional to the angle of inclination are obtained, since the two
hydraulic distributors corresponding to each single function
are engaged at the same time.

COMBINED MANOEUVRES
