launching-valve control valve, are mechanically linked
to cams on the cam control unit. Figure 4-66 includes
a schematic of the cam-operated pilot valves.
As the shafts of the cam control unit are rotated
during the sequence of operation of the catapult, the
pistons of the pilot valves are moved up and clown to
control the flow of hydraulic fluid as required for
the operation of the main valves in the catapult
