Oops!
Ralph, the spacing of your original design works fine with some added
pulleys... and a few extra parts.
I was working from memory late at night and had the angled beams in upside

Another neat neat thing about this layout is that there is room within the
beams to tuck the
hoses and tee connectors.
Here are a few pics of the the Quad-Acting version with one air tank.
