(under the class definition) Apparatus having plural discharge means and including some sensing arrangement along one or more discharge routes together with appropriate flow controlling means effective to bring about a regulatory function in response to a change of pressure or volume along one or more such routes and tending thereby to distribute the flow equally among the said discharge means.

71, for flow equalization to plural outlet means by regulation through metering means.
124+, for system relief or by-pass means (e.g., pump or nozzle unloading) which operate to keep pressures or flows at some desired level or equal among plural nozzles which means may be interconnected as by a common drive or shaft but which are not responsive to differences in individual flow lines
and effective to balance out or overcome the flow condition.
533+, for regulator means comprising multiple fluid pressure responsive flow regulators associated with plural nozzles which may be selectively set so as to maintain uniform flow at some desired level.
553+, for unitary plural outlet means having an interior guide or flow divider whose function is generally to equalize the flow to the plural outlet openings.
