Abstract: A fine flow pinch adjust has a T shaped fluid communication path. A flexible tube is inserted within the fluid communication path in other than a straight path. A screw is inserted in one branch of the T unoccupied by the flexible tubing such that the screw cooperatively engages threads on the opening wall and such that the screw can engage the tubing when turned sufficiently in a known direction.

Abstract: A lifting bail adapted to be made integral with a machine having a center of gravity includes a lift eye plate located substantially near the machine center of gravity, a first locator member having openings for locating the lift eye plate substantially near the machine center of gravity and a second locator member having openings for locating the lift eye plates substantially near the machine center of gravity. The openings for locating the lift eye plate relative to the center of gravity are oriented along the first and second locator members so that when the first and second locator members are made integral with the machine, the openings are aligned and thereby provide the location for the lift eye plates substantially near the machine center of gravity.

Abstract: A composite tube transducer cylinder is manufactured from molded material in which embedded strips of resistive and conductive material are exposed to the inside surface and wherein a piston operating within the cylinder may make contact between a conductive and a resistive strip as a means for determining piston position.

Abstract: A fluid cylinder comprising a tube having a sidewall and at least one open end, the sidewall has a locking groove formed therein adjacent each of the at least one open ends, each of the open ends includes an edge which includes a chamfer. The fluid cylinder also includes at least one endcap for closing the at least one open end, each of the at least one endcaps comprising: a leading end having a groove formed therein, said groove adapted to receive a compressible retaining ring, the retaining ring adapted to engage the locking groove when the at least one open end is closed by the at least one endcap. Each of the endcaps also includes a shoulder and a sealing member located between the leading end and the shoulder, the sealing member is adapted to sealingly engage the edge of the at least one open end.
