It is wind as in north or south wind. It is also often called air motor. Technically it is a Suction motor since the player works on negative air pressure or suction D.L.

Is it pronounced as in "blowing in the wind" (which would be a contradiction in terms, as there is no wind in a pneumatic system) or is it as in "wind up the clock" ? Here we actually refer to them as roll motors. Regards Alan Forsyth
