(...) I noticed on your site you have a bit of a comparison between FT & LEGO pneumatics. Do you have a comparison of the cylinders? I'm wondering whether FT have a longer cylinder than LEGO? Thanks ROSCO (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Hello, (...) Are you aware that the 8680 Arctic Rescue Base set (URL) from the Technic Arctic Action theme (URL) has two longer pneumatic cylinders. However, these are the older single-action variety ... Greetings Horst PS: I don't read in technic, (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
