I think this part was used in Legos early pneumatic history. You ran a hose from your pump to the center port on the 2 X 4 brick. You then ran a hose from each side port to the top and bottom ports on you pneumatic switch. Another hose ran from the (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

I acquired a bunch of LEGO recently, mostly Technic, and one piece I haven't seen before. It's basically a black 2x4 brick with three ports for attaching air hoses. What's it for and what sets did it come in? It seems like it might have valves in it (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

Much agreement from me!
