Abstract
The invention comprises a crank-linkage arrangement for a hydraulic servo valve, used on a road planer, to give the valve more sensitivity. It has a valve-operating crank coupled to a leverage-type linkage. The linkage responds to movements of a ground-engaging ski, which tracks the road surface, by displacing a same degree as does the ski, but by effecting a greater displacement of the crank. Limit stops on either sides of a limb of the linkage prevent any damaging overtravel of the crank.
