X2. If I would have gone to a Chiro for my neck I could be paralyzed by now. I went to three different doctors for the numbness in my feet and hands falling asleep at night. The first two thought it was a back problem and the hands falling asleep was just something to be ignored. The third doctor finally diagnosed severe stenosis in my neck. My spinal cord was being squeezed and restricted by the laminate inside the vertebrae. After he looked at the MRI that he ordered of the neck he told me one wrong slip and fall could make me a quadriplegic. I had what turned out to be a complicated version of a laminectomy of C3,C4,C5. They went in and cut off the back of those three vertebrae to open the vertebrae and give the spinal cord some breathing space. The numbness in the feet is gone and the hands falling asleep is gone. Another affect I didn't realize till later was the middle finger on the right hand falling down and right clicking the computer mouse on it's own will was caused by this neck problem. I didn't realize till I did some reading that the spinal cord is of a different consistency in the neck than in the back. Doctors don't get excited about stenosis in the back but they get real serious when it is in the neck. If you don't like one doctor, try another one, but be very careful about any manipulating of the neck vertebrae.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
