They are solenoid valves.
In 2010 when you had to kick a soccer ball we (1922) used 4 solenoids all plumbed to one cylinder and had one of the strongest kickers around, strong enough that Dean Kamen was examining it at GSR. The next year was the first year that was not allowed. We kinda think we caused this rule.
