| | Consallen Drilling Rig: Detail of Swash-plate Oil Pump |
 | | Variable geometry axial piston oil pump provides sensitive control of both rotation speed and also direction of the drill string, from full forward rotation to full reverse, for unscrewing drill tube joints, without gears or valves, passing through locked stand-still 'neutral' position. |
 | | Such winches, when powered by hydraulic motor, will provide very sensitive infinitely variable speed control of hoist and pull-down from 'creep' to full in both directions, in addition to full free-fall operation for cable tool drilling. |
 | | The faclities offered again, require no valves or controls other than the single pump lever, which gives variable oil flow in either direction, at the pressure demanded by the system at any moment. |
