Re: 3-position pistons

The reason we arranged the pistons next to each other as shown in post #2 was that we were looking for a package with an extended length more than twice the compressed length; I haven't seen any integrated 3-position cylinders which do that. If you do combine cylinders and do not have this restriction, they can be back-to-back, tip-to-tip, or tip-to-back.
