I am a Swede that can read both electrical and hydraulic schematics. Most new hydraulic systems have electrical controls.

<p class="MsoNormal">Three years ago I was present in a Detroit workplace when a group of Swedes installed hot stamping cells made by AP&T of Gothenburg Sweden. This had German made Siemens controls and hydraulic components. The main piece of equipment was
a hydraulic press.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 1 was for a local contractor to pour the foundations and pits. The equipment was prefabricated and bolted together. Electrical cables had multipin connectors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One Swede could actually read both electrical schematics and hydraulic schematics. My experience is that this is a rare skill combination among Americans. The man had completed his 7 years of compulsory education at age 14. He then had
attended a three year training program in the electrical field. After that he had a short break and then attended a 2 year hydraulic program elsewhere in Sweden. I do not know what credential he received from each program or if there were other options for
each program.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">At one point I was diagnosing a bad hydraulic pump on another line and borrowed a pressure gauge adaptor from him.<o:p></o:p></p>
