At

The
lst
or

return
line
339,
which
in
neutral
is
always
supplied
since
it
is
fed
by
both
neutral
advance
line
264 and
return
line
205
and
which
in
lst

reverse
ratio
ranges
is
supplied
only
by
return

205,
is
con
nected
via
supply
port
382
to
the
space
between
lands
a
and

346
for
selective

383
and
lst
for

372
to

line
384.
These
reverse
and
lst
forward
return ports
371
and
372
are
formed
in
sleeve
366
as
a
plurality
of
progressively
wider
slots
with
the
narrowest
slot
of
each
port
at
the
regulating
edge
respectively
of
lands a
and
b
of
spool
364
so
flow
to
reverse
or
lst
forward
return
lines
383
or
384
is
proportional
to
the
degree
of
error
or
deviation
from
the
desired
1st
and
reverse
ratio
range
anti-hunting
or
bias
positions
so
the
rate
of
change
of
correction
is
proportional
to
the
error.
In the
reverse
position
of
zero
stroke
bias
valve
363
with
valve spool
364
in
the
central
blocking
position
shown,
the
pump
ring
370
is
slightly
displaced
from
null
(N)
or
zero
stroke
position
to
a
reverse
bias
(RB)
posi
tion
(FIGS.
3A
and
4)
having
very
low
reverse
or
nega
tive
displacement,
In
response
to
a
displacement
posi
tion
error
due
to
higher
or
lower
displacement
from
reverse
bias
(RB)
position,
the
zero

bias
valve
363
respectively
provides
reverse
return
signal
in
re
verse
return
line
383
or
forward
return
signal
in
lst
forward
return
line
384,
functioning
as
a
reverse

signal,
for
correction.
In the
forward
position,
in
response
to
forward
signal
supplied
by
forward
signal
line
288,
the
valve
sleeve
366
is
moved
to
the

in
FIG.
3A
to

and
when

364
is
in
a
similar
central

position
relative
to
reverse

lst
forward
return ports
371
and
372,
the
pump
ring
370
is
in
forward

(FB)
position
(FIGS.
3A
and

displaced
a
little
from
null
(N)
position,
to
a
very
low
forward

positive
displace
ment
position.
On
displacement
error
from
forward
bias
(PB)
position
to
higher
or
lower
displacement
positions,
zero
stroke
bias
valve
363
respectively
provides
for

pressure
in

384
or
reverse

pressure,
acting
as
forward

pressure
in
reverse

line
383.
This
arrangement
provides
a
damped

control
to
prevent hunting

SHIFT
SIGNAL
VALVE
The
2-3-2
shift
signal
valve
386
has
a
spool
387
having
two
equal-diameter
lands
a
and
b
slidable
in
a
bore 388
which
is
in
valve
body
169
and
is
vented
at

Linkage
389,
which
is
like
linkage
367
of
zero
stroke
bias
valve
363
and
has
adjustment
device
390,
connects
spool
387
to

ring
370
for

line
288
is
always
connected
to

387.
The
2-3-2
shift
signal
line
391
is
connected
to
its

392,
and
when

ring
370
and

spool
387
are
not
in
2-3-2
shift
position
as
shown
(FIG,

391
is
connected
by

387
to

387
are
in
the
2-3-2
shift

land
a of

l-2-l
SHIFT
SIGNAL
VALVE
The
l-2-l
shift
signal
valve
396
has
a valve
spool
397
having
two
equal-diameter
lands
a
and

398
and
connected
by
linkage
399,
like
the
above

age
367,
to

401.
Bore
398
is
vented
at

of
l-2-l
shift

ZERO
STROKE
INDICATOR
VALVE
The
zero
stroke
indicator
valve
132
(FIG.
3D)
has
a
spool
407
having
two
equal-diameter
lands a
and
b
slidable
in
a
bore
408
vented
at
both
ends
thereof
by
1st
and
2nd
exhausts
413
and
413'.
Linkage
409,
like
linkage
367,
connects
spool
407
to
pump
ring
370.
Mainline
112
is
always
connected
to
bore 408
between
lands a
and
b
of
spool
407
and
is
blocked
so there
is
only
leakage
flow
to

2nd
ports
410
and
410’
in
the
zero or
null
(N)

in
FIG. 3D.
This
leakage

returning
to
bore
408
for
exhaust
by
exhausts
413
and
413’
at
opposite
ends of
bore
408.
This
arrangement
reduces
leakage
and
the
low

is
not

When

moves
to
