[PSUBS-MAILIST] Hydraulic Ram Advice?

[James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Jim,
Thanks for that.  Im probably going to keep it simple and go with Grahams
idea of jockey wheels.  But, im still interested in knowing more about
vehicle hydraulics as its something i know little about.  Will almost
certainly need it for my next sub project.
Many thanks
Nanmes
