I received a Lego catalogue the other day, and there are quite a few nice sets in it but one particularly caught my eye, the 7905 building crane. (URL) it's a City set but it's got enough technic to interest us. It's full of yellow or grey studded (...) (18 years ago, 9-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

Hi all. For all those who, like me, have many pneumatic cylinders, but only a limited supply of pumps, I believe I have come up with a way to get a source of air pressure, using a cylinder and two switches. I've knocked a quick circuit diagram up in (...) (18 years ago, 3-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)
