    CHAPTER Controt of Hydraulic Energy Working energy transifitted hydraulically must be directed and under complete contol at alltime. t "ot under control, no useful work willbe done or a machine might be destroyed. One of the advan- tages of hydraulcsisthat energy can be controled A relatively easly by using valves.
