 This expands on the switch built in tutorial one. Using two switches linked to a single cylinder, students will be able to control the flow of multiple currents through only one control process. This expands on the switch built in tutorial one.

 When building electronic circuits, it is very common to have multiple voltages inverting at the same time. In the same regard, when building pneumatic circuits sometimes it is necessary to have two or currents of air change direction at the same time. For large arrays of synchronized switches, building an individual piston for each valve can be large and take up a lot of space. Linking two or more valves to the same cylinder can cut back on space used in further installations. It is important to note however, that adding more valves onto a single cylinder adds more resistance and thus the cylinder requires more pressure to work. When building electronic circuits, it is very common to have multiple voltages inverting at the same time.
