Follow him."---Author unkown 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 must show restraint... no won't say it. 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.
