Abstract: A control system and method of using a control system for a thumb on an excavator allows the thumb to follow a workpiece held in a bucket when the bucket moves. The thumb control circuit is activated by the press of a button and thereafter maintains a constant reduced close fluid pressure of the extend port of the thumb cylinder until the open control is actuated.

Abstract: A board game includes a board and chance-taking means for determining in random manner the play of game cards. Four separate chance-taking means are included as part of the game apparatus, each chance-taking means dealing with a separate category such as shape, color, number, or letter. A plurality of directional cards are placed at the center of the game board and, when drawn, control the direction of player movements about the board. The board includes indicia indicative of various directions in which player movements can be made. Each player is dealt a plurality of play cards having indicia on their faces representative of different shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. The basic object of the game is to rid oneself of all play cards. By sequential activation of the separate chance-taking means, each player moves to different positions on the board where the taking or discarding of additional cards is required.
