(under subclass 218) Apparatus in which a means adapted to store kinetic energy, such as a weight or spring, is moved a distance as a consequence of working member movement to store such energy, followed by the release of such energy to reverse, or complete the reversal of the distributor regardless of whether the working member continues to move or not.
(1) Note. A motor, in which a distributor reversing element is initially restrained to store kinetic energy solely by motive fluid which the distributor controls, is classified under this definition only if the motive fluid causes such restraint by acting upon an element which is movable relative to the distributor. Motors having reversing elements which store kinetic energy as a result of an unbalanced action of motive fluid upon the distributor are classified on other features.

286+, for working member controlled motive fluid for distributor motor in which the distributor motor is mechanically moved cyclically to control actuating fluid supply.
