Yes, that's it. Thanks very much Jack and Ken. I'd briefly thought of switch air, but hadn't found anything to substantiate that.

agree  Ken Cox: can't think of (or find) anything better, although IMO the distinction between switching air and control air is fairly thin (unless besturingslucht means something like actuator air)
