The meaning of the word 'pneumatic' can be summed up in two words: air power. From a pneumatic nail gun that allows carpenters to drive nails at machine gun speed to the pneumatic wrench your car mechanic uses to change a tire on your car to a pneumatic (air) powered assembly line. Pneumatic power keeps American workers moving forward. So, the next time you hear the word 'pneumatic TIMERS', just keep in mind the fact that air power is really all around you. 'Pneumatic' – make it your new word for the day!
