ported past the sliding spool (1) to the return circuit by
way of passage C.
2. When all pump delivery can pass through the
restriction to the load, the spool is held in the closed
position by the large spring (2) and passage C is
blocked from chamber B.
This is the condition
illustrated in Figure 4-A.
3. When pump delivery is greater than the flow
rate determined by tile restriction (D), a pressure build-
up in chamber B forces the spool open against the large
spring force. Excess fluid is throttled past the spool to
passage C and back to inlet, as shown in Figure 4-B.

from chamber B, through orifice D, passage E, orifices
G, H and J to, passage C and to inlet. The pressure
drop across restriction D resulting from this flow causes
a differential pressure on the spool ends and the spool is
