Compressed air driven fans

I was visiting my Amish friend today. He has several ceiling fans and
a pedistal fan run with air motors. One has a Sproul W16-10 motor
that has 6 cylinders and a swash plate design. The others have
oscilating cylinder, single cylinder units. Another has a Gast and
Thompson direct drive motors. Google searches have not yielded
anything. Do any of you have any manufacturer information? These are
made in Pensylvania and are popular in the Amish Community there as
well.
