Fig. 2 Proportioning Valve & Specifications.:

This model uses a diagonally split piping system utilizing a single piston disc forward, while aft, a leading/trailing drum is used, Fig. 1.

A ``twin'' type proportioning and by-pass valve ensures correct hydraulic pressure and in the event of a pressure drop, the valve compensates by equalizing pressure to the remaining system, Fig. 2.
