orising the new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about

will correspond to a continuous speed in-
crease. TO REDUCE

orising the new speed;
or
❒moving the stalk downwards (–) until

tions after ending acceleration.
