Better that he should say it 'accelerates' the flow which actually lowers its pressure.
It's hard to imagine that it does anything other than ride in the wake of the first component ahead of the wheels and the wheels themselves.
I may have interpreted what he said and came up with the word compress on my own.

The trailer pictured has sliding tandems. They are normally slid foward for city driving (less turning radius) and slid back for highway use or anywhere in between to get the correct maximum weight per axle allowed by law.

When the tandem is slid back for highway use, the reason for having part C in the system then becomes more apparent. IMHO.
