-28- Abstract of the Disclosure REVERSIBLE VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT HYDRAULIC DEVICE Reversible, variable displacement, hydraulic devices are useful in transmitting power from an engine to a driven device. The hydraulic components of such devices are generally quite bulky and difficulty to center the swash plate thereof. The subject device (10) includes a pair of servo valves (68,69) adjustably disposed within a case (11) for individually controlling the flow of actuating fluid to and from a pair of hydraulic servo actuators (46,47). A servo feedback mechanism (107) is provided to mechanically move a valve spool (84) of one of the servo valves to a position for exhausting fluid from one of the servo actuators as the spool of the other servo valve is moved to a position for directing actuating fluid to the other of the servo actuators. The feedback mechanism also moves the spools substantially to their neutral position when a swash plate (21) controlled by the servo actuators reaches a desired angular position after the other spool is first moved to the position for directing actuating fluid to the other servo actuator. The feedback mechanism is compact and cooperates with the adjustability of the servo valves so that centering of the swash plate is simplified.
