otherwise the hydraulic motor 18 would be completely bypassed by the bypass fluid circuit 26 which would permit fluid to flow from the hydraulic pump 14 in the direction of arrow 32 through that bypass circuit thus the valve 28 prevents any flow of fluid within the bypass circuit permitting the hydraulic motor 18 to be driven in the reverse direction it will be appreciated that since there is no bypass fluid circuit in operation during reverse direction vehicle movement there is no free wheeling capability as is possible in the forward direction of vehicle movement it would be possible to provide for free wheeling in the reverse direction by including an additional bypass fluid circuit similar to the circuit 26 with a check valve operating to pass fluid in a direction opposite from that as shown by the arrow 32 the two bypass fluid circuits would be operated of course with only one in operation at any one time this could be achieved by appropriate coupling between the flow no flow valves of the two circuits so that when one valve is open the other is automatically closed it is believed preferable however to limit the system to one bypass fluid circuit as shown in the drawing to provide for vehicle braking from the drive system itself as described above in the event of brake system failure thus control of vehicle movement is achieved by way of both the swashplate control 16 and the forward reverse.
