Yes, it is, assuming you have enough pressure for the circuit to advance though
the sequence.

OK. As I said in an earlier post, I'm working on a "dual action" pump
compresssor. I've got two "Pneumatic Distribution Block 2 x 4 with Non-return
Valve" bricks ( http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=4692 ). This
gives me one double acting pump. I've got three more on the way from bricklink.
I'll use two of them to get another double acting pump.
So I'll have a two piston, quad pump. Should be pretty compact. I'm in the
medium pump camp (instead of small pump). Other vocal pneuaticists think this
is folly, but I'll gleefully weather that storm.
