Abstract: A gas compressor has a straight cylinder (12) clamped between end headers (28, 38) and confines a plurality of valve assemblies wholly therewithin, and has a cylindrical sleeve (18) set within one half of the length of the cylinder (12). The compressor operates a staged i.e. a two-step compression, of the gas admitted at an inlet port (40) and discharges compressed gas from an outlet port (42). There are four one-way valve assemblies (20, 24, 36 and 38). Assemblies (20) and (24) are located adjacent the ends of the cylinder (12), one (20) inside the cylinder and the other (24) inside the sleeve.

Abstract: An annunciator for the conduction status of individual switches (15) wired into a series circuit records this status as status history at regular intervals in a memory (69). The status history is preferably recorded as individual entries having the identification number of an open switch (15) along with a time stamp specifying the length of time which that switch (15) has been open. The current entry is recorded in the memory (69) and a new entry started each time the switch (15) for which an entry in the memory (69) is being created closes or a switch (15) currently receiving power opens. A controller (40) separate from the annunciator generates a request signal and provides a request time value to the annunciator specifying the time which has elapsed since the request condition was detected. The annunciator uses the request time value to determine the probable switch conduction status at the time of the request.
