My last name is Lee and Grandad said he had an aunt or someone who had traced our family history way back, and Robert E. Lee was a distant cousin or uncle to his Great-Grandfather. And of course, Robert E. Lee's father(?) was one of the two Lee's who signed the Declaration of Independence.
The same aunt supposedly traced the Lee name back far enough to claim there was a Lee who was a knight at King Arthur's round table, but I've never seen written documentation.
On a closer note, my Great-Great Grandfather and his brother were part of the original group who plotted the streets when the town of Wahoo Nebraska was started. My granddad was asked to ride in a parade they had for Wahoo's centennial.
My Great-Great Grandfather led a very interesting life- at age 19 or so he operated a trading post at Ponca Nebraska and traded with the Pawnee Indians.

He and a brother also started the town of Brownlee Nebraska, where he ran a general store for many years, and built up our current ranch by acquiring land from homesteaders who gave him their land instead of payment for their store bills(he would extend credit to anyone) when they figured out they couldn't make a living on 160 acres and moved away.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
