Make a pneumatic cylinder faster with less energy... now.

If you're looking for the "dixie cup" of knowledge this isn't for you. This is the fire hose of knowledge and not an overview. Limited to those who wish to deeply understand the arcane science of sizing pneumatic components, this work will increase anyone's understanding of how to make a given pneumatic cylinder move faster. The book is more than that. The author tirelessly explains individual pneumatic components (generically), educates the reader (from maintenance or professional engineer), and provides resources not found in typical overview texts. If you want to know how to optimize a pneumatic circuit there is no other text available. In a narrow scope there is tremendous depth. The author details how the US could reduce dependancy on foreign oil by just more efficiently applying his simple rules clearly supported by engineering logic. It is a cherished reference and testament to what was obviously his life's work.
