I recently bought an unusual wind motor on eBay that uses pistons
instead of pneumatics.  Comparing this wind motor to the photos in
the MMD Archive shows that it is not a Pistonola, as they used four
cylinders, whereas mine uses three double-acting cylinders.  Of course,
Pistonola might have changed the design over the years.  I have sent
photographs for the MMD Archive.

I have two questions: Can anyone identify where this motor is from?
Also, is this motor intended to be disassembled?  I want to remove the
tops and bottoms of the cylinders to see the pistons, and since it does
not want to come apart easily after removing all the tensioning rods,
I do not want to force it.
