Aircraft use a similar actuator on severl types of valves for all kinds of systems, and Bendix is by far one of the largest manufacturers of those items.
As for the device itself, I think that the fact the basic design of these things has not changed from way back when until today since the same units are still in use in heavy forklifts.

There are many similarities between the Hydrovac & many large pneumatic actuated valves, only difference is instead of pushing a valve shaft, the HydroVac pushes a piston. Otherwise the operation is much the same.

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
