Nice to see, I used to work in the pneumatic industry, as well as inventors and makers of the Schrader tyre valve, Schrader were a big U.S.A. process valve and actuator manufacturer with a large presence in Europe.
They were purchased by the Parker group U.S.A. and were lost in the mass of pneumatic and hydraulic parts available from a multi national conglomerate.
They did make very good control valves and were I think the first company to bring spool valves to market, still the predominant type used in manufacturing industry today.
Now known simply as Parker, they have faded in to obscurity with other primarily asian makers taking the lead.
Thanks for the memories.
