The pump is driven by the engine crankshaft and
turns at the same speed as the engine. Barrel assembly
(6) and the nine pistons (3) turn when drive shaft (8)
turns. When pistons (3) are at the bottom of their
strokes, the oil from the tank goes through a long inlet
opening in port plate (1), and into barrel assembly (6).
