Turbomatic - what does the 'matic' mean?

[cinderKona]

I have a turbomatic saddle with yellow bits on it, but am stumped as to why it's different to a standard turbo. Can anyone out there enlighten me?

the turbomatic has the rails sat in small rubber blocks so they are supposedly more comfortable. ace saddle

If anyone is looking for this saddle, we scored a box of NOS ones @ http://mombat.org/MOMBAT/PartsForSalePa ... posts.html

The matic,is a kind of elastomer mount for the rails ,as said above-for a bit more comfort.
I had a tri-matic which i think was more or less the same,except for the mounts being 2 elastomers of different densities for and even softer ride
Or so they stated :roll:
