🔍 Key Concepts

• Telemotor system between the bridge wheel and steering gear • How hydraulic control valves are actuated in a power steering system • Difference between direction control (signal) and follow‑up/feedback (position correction)

💭 Think About

• When you turn the wheel, what is the very first mechanical/hydraulic part that actually moves down in the steering flat? • Which device changes the direction or amount of oil flow to the rams when the wheel is turned, before any follow‑up correction happens? • Which option sounds like a feedback device that matches rudder angle to wheel angle, instead of the original control that starts oil moving?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes the primary control element that directly varies oil flow or pressure to the rams. • Separate in your mind the initial command signal from the follow‑up/feedback mechanism that keeps rudder and wheel in agreement. • Verify which component (tilting box/floating ring, automatic differential valve, or six‑way valve) is normally associated with starting hydraulic flow in a power steering gear.
