All electronic logic functions can be implemented with pneumatic logic devices which simply operate using compressed air and vent into a cabinet (i.e. there are no problems with oil or fluid leaks).

Pneumatic memory has set, reset and output lines like electronic memory. The logic state is remembered by a small valve spool (maybe 20 mm long). A one bit memory may be the size of a matchbox or larger but it also needs ancillary components (other logic, timers, air supply, filter etc.). They are probably not widely used today - most likely in hazardous environments.
