Default Why do some 240 volt devices need a neutral?

The way I see it, the current flows from one conductor to the other? So
what's the neutral for? The only thing I can think of is perhaps these
devices have several independent parts in them and some of those parts
are 120 volts...

Thanks,

Aaron
