I'ositir-e control of inching, .ll'ith a sensitivity of "feel', that nratches tl-rat of a manually actuated dry-plate clutch, results from the adr.anced design of the Po.rver Shift engagir-rg elements and the hydrauliC circuitry. The pressure Itlit engages and disengages the disc is regulated 6y the stroke of the brake-inchinft control, of rvhich ih".e a.e i,,.c,-one on each sicle of the steering s6lumn-f6r convenience of opera- tion l.ith either the right or left foot. Thus, the operatoi can use either foot for inching or braking, and maintain com- plete control u.hen manipulating the trucks in cramped quarters and s'hen stacking a load.

The large Space-Saver ntodels are suicl t(, rel)rcsr.ltt ir significant aclr-ance in crrshion-tired nrlLchinc.s. Their maneuveraltilitv is insured by a short turning ra<lius, p.)\\'cr steering.a-s. standard -et1u ipnr ent, a high torcl ue engine,'cxcel- lent visibility both foru,ard and to ll.re rear, anci'the applicatior-r _of human engineering prir-rciples to tl-re placemetit ot controls and the seating of the operator. Stability is rrnexcelled, and the combination of job-tested design, !lus the use of nel\r and improved materials such as sinterecl metiil clutch linings, are said to result in long life and little maintenance.
Feather Touch Control, an exclusive Hyster f eatnre yhi.! permits the operator to exercise positive control of both inching and braking through the sime foot pedal, is rncorporated in the nen- Power Shift Hystamatic tiansmission. This transmission, rr'hich is availible as an ootional extra. is.completel_\- autornatic and provides an infinite power ratio over the fuli range of vehicle speeds.
The Power Shift transmission eliminatei the need for the conventional clutching arrangement found on most lift trucks. Shifting frorn forwaid to reverse, or vice versa, is accomplished simply by moving the hand lever

In addition, the nes' models have a-lower mast^height for any height of li{t than trucks heretofore available .' . ,,re engineered u.ith a lonng n'heelbase, but an extremely short o_ver-all length . have self-adjusting, oversized-brakes that require minimum maintenance and-are designecl r,r,itl.r a reversed.assembly to facilitiate bleeding of the iircrrit fronr the outside are equipped rl'ith a irvo-speecl, const:rntnresh transmission . have :r lon' prollle and 1o.'r' center of gravitv to inrpror-e stal,ilitv on steep grades ancl short trlrns.
The short or-er-al1 length, combined rvitl-r long r,vheelbase, provides.high underclearance at the center of tiie vehicle to l)revenl hang'-up on sleep ramps or rorrgh terrain, .rvhile at the same trme contributing to maneuverability. Stackirrq aisle rridths are 991. l0l ind 1051 inches foi the 6A,70 and 80. r'hile the intersectinq aisle tidths are 7I.73.71 irrclres. These dimensions insu-re that the truck can be usecl in plants,_ ll.arehouses, and service buildings having narro\\r aisles and restricted space for manipulatidn.
Another feature. espec_ially desira'ble in low-ceiling. areas or in elevators or through doors having low overheaii clearirnces, is the lot. collapsed height of the mast. This is ma"rle possible by a six-roller carria.qe, the top of u'hich is allor,r,ecl to extend tlevond the top of the inner uprights at maximum

Ease oi rnaintenance \\'zrs, of corrrse, a serious consideratior-r_in desigrr. The entire hood raises and su,ings back or.rt oJ the n'ay to permit easy access to the engine, and the clutch and transmission eiements can be reached simplv bv remo.ving the_floor plates. Only the top of the split ctutci, housing r.reed be removed to reach the clutch cornbonents in the constant n-resh transmission or the engaging elements in the Porver Shift transmission. But it is- throueh the rugged construction, the feramic clutch facings, th*e selfadj.usting brakes, the heavy duty engine, and the other spe- cial design features that the real savings in maintenance rvill be made. because they reduce the number of times that maintenance is required.
_ Finally, but extremely important, the entire Space- Saver line was "tailored" for the operator by Henry Dreyfuss, one of the country's foremost industrial designers. The control levers are within easy reach, and the placement and length of the pedals, as well as other arrangements, was based on measurement statistics of the average American male, with provisions made to adjust seat location to match most standard male requirements.
