Ok, for all the suppressors out there, language is an ever-changing method of 
communication, e.g. every few years new dictionaries are produced with (what do 
you know NEW WORDS!)  Second, if individuals are affected by the terminology 
used to describe them, then let those people correct the words how they see 
fit.  If it aggravates you that badly, you may need to seek psychiatric help to 
find out why this even bothers you!

I recall visions of my youth when my dad farmed with draft horses.
No, this has nothing to do with any technical discussion, either (grin)

Are you looking for a Saunders valve diphragm which actually contacts the 
flowing fluid, or a control valve diaphragm in the actuator which only 
sees compressed air? Try a web search for "Saunders valves" if it is the 
first type.
