Abstract
Manipulation of the rate of drilling fluid flow down a drill string containing the apparatus causes a drilling fluid powered linear motor, preferably a piston, to move an output shaft, hingedly attached to the general body to laterally, and selectively, deflect the longitudinal axis of the apparatus with the effect of bending an associated drill string assembly just above the drill head.
