								<text>In this subclass, the following terms are used with the meanings indicated:</text>
								<subnote type="bullet">
									<noteParagraph>
										<text>"telemotor" means a system or device in which a substantially constant amount of fluid is trapped between an input member and an output member to act as a fluid link;</text>
									</noteParagraph>
									<noteParagraph>
										<text>"servomotor" means a fluid-pressure actuator, e.g. a piston and cylinder, directly controlled by a valve or other device which is responsive to operation of an initial controlling member; "Servomotor" does not cover a telemotor. The initial controlling member may be adjacent to the servomotor or at a distance, and may be, for example, a hand lever.</text>
