Electro-pneumatic ram

Posted by Cees Broere on Fri Aug 23, 2002 03:20:07 AM

Hi all,

During the investigation of Lancaster ED603 last weekend, we found a ram in very good condition. On the top of the ram there was an engraved description:

"electric-pneumatically operated"

Does anyone of you on this board know what system of the Lancaster was electric-pneumatically operated?

For your information the ram had a rubber protective seal (similar to a shock absorber as used in cars) over the moving parts and at the end of the ram there was a push/pull mechanism with a short movement, but when operated the stroke would be larger to actuate something(don't know how to describe this properly).

Cheers

Cees
