    Manual 36684 Booster Servomotor Chapter 1. General Information Introduction This manual covers the three types of Woodward booster servomotor:  Low-volume, single-cylinder booster  Medium-volume, double-cylinder (tandem) booster  High-volume, two-stage booster Description A booster servomotor supplies pressurized oil to mechanical-hydraulic governors and electro-hydraulic actuators at the instant starting air reaches the engine.
