Located on the Aft overhead panel in the cockpit, this piece would allow for the pilots to change control of the flight surfaces between 3 different hydraulic reservoirs; green, blue and yellow.
The second image shows a basic diagram of hydraulics for each flight surface.
The third image illustrates the unit operating as ‘NORMAL CONDITION’ as well as ‘GREEN ONLY SELECTED’ which would be set if a jam or hydraulic failure had occurred.
