Abstract: In the case of a measuring device having a sensor supplied from an oscillator for a non-electrical variable and having a circuit arrangement downstream of the sensor for rectifying the output voltage of the sensor, interference pulses, which are superimposed on the output voltage of the movement sensor and are rectified when the output voltage of the movement sensor is rectified, falsify the measurement result. This is particularly true for spiked interference pulses having a high amplitude. In order to reduce such falsifications of the measurement result, the output voltage of the sensor is supplied to a ramp-generating circuit arrangement, in which the mathematical sign of the transmission behavior can be controlled. The mathematical sign of the transmission behavior of the ramp-generating circuit arrangement is controlled by a switching signal, whose flanks correspond to the zero crossings of the output voltage of the sensor.

A control pressure difference by means of which the main slide can be displaced into a predetermined position can be created manually by actuating said blocking mechanism.

Actuation of the extension arm and of the scoop is by means of hydraulic cylinders. Each cylinder is assigned a valve which controls the flow of pressure medium from a pump to the cylinder and from the latter to the tank. A rotational movement of the extension arm is accomplished with the top edge of the scoop maintaining its angular position when the extension arm is being raised or lowered. Valves which control the flow of pressure medium to the cylinders are activated with the ratio of the pressure medium quantities supplied to the cylinders being kept at a constant value independently of the size of the control signal controlling the flow of pressure medium to a cylinder for the actuation of the extension arm.
