What is this Air Icon?

What is up with AuxBeam's "Air" Icon?


It looks like a piston and I can't for the life of me figure out how they got that symbol. Also a little disappointed that radio is just... "radio."

After I get Air on the truck, we can see what other cool goodies I get.

 

Maybe because the most common compressor is a piston? Yes, there are other air compressors (centrifugal, screw), but the piston is most common.

 

It is a piston. If you look at a dissasembled ARB or exploded view it makes sense. A lot of the current switches have just stuck with that icon, which was on carling switches that came with ARB compressors and the like in terms of offroad panels.

 

That makes stupid good sense. Can't believe I let my 'tisim push me so far off over that.

 

"blowing cloud" probably wasn't manly enough for an accessory switch. So they went with compressor piston.

 

Missed opportunity.

 

In before that gets deleted^

I think it is a perfectly artistic and mathematical image.

 

Y'all all gettin' 30 days in the clinker for that. LOL
