Paul,

I'm learning that their complexity (an old design by the way dating back to the early 20th century) is a result of the fact that these machines can be highly accurate and reliable with minimal maintenance and adjustments required. They meter out their air one psi at a time (each bell ring) and you are able to adjust it to be spot on for the target pressure (easily w/i 1 psi). They are a sight to behold with the mechanical movements of the levers, puffs of air, and the bell ringing. When I finish this, I intend to leave the back cover off to provide a bit of entertainment while the tireflator is operating.
