DEFINITION
Classification: 91/7
(under subclass 6) Apparatus in which the motor is capable of reciprocatory motion through a cycle by a forward stroke and a return stroke to the starting point and wherein the motor (1) may be operated continuously repeating said cycle without manual intervention with motive fluid being supplied to a working chamber thereof through one supply path or (2) may at the will of the operator, be operated through a full or partial forward or return stroke utilizing a different motive fluid supply path to said working chamber.
(1) Note. The non-cyclic operation may be, for example, for the purpose of operating the motor as a servo motor or for placing the working member in a fixed stopped position or for starting the working member when on dead center.
