These normally open contacts are indicated at 162' through 186' in the outboard car and 162" through 186" in the inboard car. It should be noted that the inboard car does not include contacts for the roll control relays and 172, since only the outboard car platen is raised and lowered dur-. ing the roll operation. Thus it will be seen that when many of the control relays are actuated. the bypass valves are closed to provide hydraulic fluid from the pumps to the various control cylinders and drive motors.
