This is the pumping mechanism for the historical vane pump or motor. The term 'pressure balanced' comes from the fact that pressure in any chamber is matched by the same pressure in the diametrically opposite chamber and the hydraulic radial side thrust calculated by a 'side view area' and the two forces are opposite and cancel; hence the name ...
There were other Vickers machine guns aside from the regular water-cooled model (known universally as the "Vickers"): the Vickers-Berthier (VB) machine gun used by the Indian Army, the Vickers "K" .303 aircraft machine gun developed from it, and the Vickers "S" 40 mm aircraft gun.

In 1925 Vickers in Britain purchased the licence rights of the Berthier Model 1922 [1] for production in their Crayford factory, and as a replacement for the Lewis gun. It was an alternative to the water-cooled Vickers machine gun made by the same company. [5]
The Finnish guns (Designated 76mm ItK/34 Vickers) were chambered in their standard 76.2 mm (3 in) caliber. [ 6 ] Those weapons captured after the German conquest of Europe were taken into Wehrmacht service as the 7.5 cm Flak M 35(h) or 7.5 cm Flak M 35(d) .
The second prototype was believed to have been built by Vickers at their facility. [18] The vehicle was fitted with the turret from Vickers Mk.5 (VFM5) light tank mounting a fully-stabilised L7 105 mm gun. The Vickers Mk.11 had a crew of four and could carry 7 dismounts and there were firing ports for troops to fire their individual weapons.
