6-13. CONTROL COLUMN.
6-14. The control column used on the Model 182
operates in a different manner than the control "T,
"Y, and "U." Details are shown in figure 6-4.
Rotation of the control wheel rotates four needle
bearing rollers on the end of the control wheel tube
which, in turn, rotate a square tube (aileron control
tube) inside and extending from the control wheel
tube. Attached to this square tube is a sprocket
which operatee the aileron system. The same
arrangement is provided for both control wheele
and synchronization is obtained by the interconnect-
ing roller chains and sprockets. The sprocket end
of the square tube is mounted in a bearing block on
the firewall and does not move fore and aft but ro-
tates with the contmlwheel, The four needle bear-
ing rollers on the end of the control wheel tube re-
duce friction as the control wbeel is moved fore
and aft for elevator system operation. A sleeve
weld assembly, containing bearings which permit
the control wheel tube to rotate within it, is se-
cured to the co~trol wheel tube by a sleeve and re-
taining ring in such a manner that is moved fore
and aft with the control wheel tube. This move-
ment allows the push-pull tube (elevator control
Me) attached to the weld assembly to operate an
elevator arm assembly, to which one elevator cable
is attached. A torquetube connects this arm as-
sembly to the opposite one, to which the other ele-
vator cable is attached. Men dual controls are
installed, the copilot’s control wheel is linked to
the aileron and elevator control systems in the
same manner as the pilot’s control wheel.
