Abstract
Abstract A rotatable work holding device 10 operable by fluid pressure has a slip ring 17 for the distribution of fluid pressure to the work holding device and seals 48 between the slip ring and the work holding device. There are pressure operated means for retracting the seals 48 out of contact with the work holding device when it is desired to rotate the work holding device and this brings about more positive retraction of the seals 48.
