I think the rules allowed cylinders that were identical to Bimba or Parker (see below) so no pancake cylinders, etc as was mentioned above. my bad I forgot that Bimba and Parker were allowed.


2003 ( I can't find my KOP listing for this..and it may have specified Bimba or Parker) but we got the option of free cylinders from Bimba in the KOP

M12 Only items listed under the PNEUMATICS section of the Kit list may be used to store, generate or transmit compressed air or vacuum, with the following exceptions:
· Suction cups may be fabricated from legal Kit parts, as defined in rule K1 below.
· Tubing may be compressed in order to block the flow of air.
· Tubing may not be compressed in order to generate compressed air or vacuum.
· Only the allowed air cylinders may be used to generate vacuum.


2005 rules

Besides the “free” pneumatic components listed on the
Pneumatic Components Order form, you may purchase additional air cylinders or rotary actuators,
however, they must be identical to those listed on the Pneumatic Components Order form, and obtained
from a Bimba or Parker Hannifan distributor.

so you are correct about manufacture but we could only use ones that were identical to the Bimba specs (Parker) and had to be obtained from a Bimba or Parker source.

We did not have anything like the variety that can be used today.
I can remember when the Rotary actuator was first allowed.... probably 2005
