Ingersoll Compressor. Torrens 1910
The caption on the back "Belt drive with weight instead of clutch" Between the compressor and engine is a rope hanging down to a pulley that must tighten the drive belt under its own weight. I presume the Torrens is the River Torrens going through Adelaide. This is a highways dept photo, so this possibly has something to do with the road up the gorge from Adelaide.
