I asked and Brandu answered:

Thanks. I understand this description much better. This bellows would
seem to give a fair amount of air, but less often and probably with
more effort that the fan type bellows I was thinking of.

Thank you again. I had forgotten about that initial stroke of the bellows.
Also I have only seen a few pictures; never the real item. Your personal
experience is still valuable. As I will be attempting to make a bellows
any additional comments you would like to give me, by email if you wish,
would be most appreciated.
