Air gets very hot when compressed to high pressure. The temperature may be so high that it causes trouble with the lubrication of the cylinder and piston. For this reason and also because it is possible to save considerable power, multistaging may be used, which means that compression is carried out in two or more cylinders. 1, record 2, English, - multistaging

[Dans le cas] d’appareils de sécurité ou de réglage à action indirecte, à fonctionnement par «tout ou rien», [...] le terme différentiel s’applique à l'écart entre les températures(ou pressions) d’enclenchement et de déclenchement, cet écart pouvant être fixe [...] ou réglable. Un système à différentiel implique [...] l'existence de deux contacts(ou positions) de commande ou d’impulsion(marche-arrêt, enclenchement-déclenchement, etc.) entre lesquels il existe une sorte de point mort, une zone «inactive». C'est l'intervalle entre les deux valeurs, minimale et maximale, provoquant l'action des contacts respectifs, qui s’appelle le différentiel. 3, record 3, French, - diff%C3%A9rentiel
