Packard open house 40 hours last week

This week I have learned to read hydraulic schematics.At first it was a challenge .It is like learning chinese.the more I submerge in hydraulics the more I see the potential of working in this field.as we move forward on this subject the more I recall memories of hydraulic system failures in the equipment I operated in the past. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY TO UNDERSTAND IT MORE.
