I have designed many such systems. There might also be solenoids and electric motors with gears... What I was arguing against was the assertion that (direct quote) "The ONLY thing compressed air has going for it is shop floor convenience." That's not correct. It isn't even close. In the real world, each has advantages and disadvantages, and each jas jobs it does well and jobs it does poorly or can't do at all. -- Guy Macon <http://www.guymacon.com/>

By what indicator? White House press release volume? Durable goods orders and shipments are mixed, new home starts are way down, the stock market is oscillating wildly, GFP annual growth rate is 1.2% (low on historic scale). But cheer up: e-commerce sales are doing nicely. All that online shopping may be impacting worker productivity.
