Interesting stuff!  Should make walkers move more smoothly, with the possibility
of more groups of legs.  The trick will then be reversing all the groups, since
it was easier with just two, using two polarity reversers.

I have a centre-stop mechanism for pneumatic steering for a JCB.  It's not part
of an automatic system though, since I don't yet have an application for that.

Was this single or dual piston?


Does your centre stop cylinder stop accurately in the same place every time,
even under different pressure conditions?  I thought if you put a lot of source
pressure into the cylinder it might overshoot the mid-point, whereas with low
pressure it would creep up to it.  Accurate repeatable positioning is one of the
challenges of this scheme.
