The two rams are connected to each other by a swivel block in a crosshead. The crosshead is fixed to the tiller. This tiller has an opening, called the rudder trunk. The rudder stock is part of the rudder and goes through rudder trunk. When the steering-wheel is turned, the pressure in the hydraulic system is built up, forcing the ram in one of the cylinders to be pushed out and the other ram to be pushed in. This actuates the crosshead with the swivel block and the tiller, causing the rudder to turn and the ship to make an alteration of course.
