| | Perfect geometry for large pump compressor
|

Conventional wisdom says that compressors made with small pumps are best (ever noticed the price differential between large pumps and small pumps on bricklink?) Primarily this is true because the large pump provides much more resitance than the (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
