The drive is by means of a rack and pinion and is driven manually through a gearing arrangement.
The gearbox rack and pinion are fixed on two upright pillars and the movement of the pressure gauges 15cm sq. are provided to indicate the penetration resistance. Isolation valve is provided to automatically isolate the lower range gauge when it reaches the maximum capacity. The valve can be adjusted and locked at desired values between 20 to 60kg/cm.sq. provisions made to anchor the unit at site and there is provision for lateral shifting so that subsequent tests could be performed without having to shift the entire anchorage system.
