"Kallo is a beacon Mäntyluoto (Pori, Finland) front of the Kallo on the island lighthouse.
First lighthouse of the Kallo on the island was erected in 1884. First lighthouse fog signaling equipment was from 1901 from hand-to-use Hansen's sirens.
The current hardware elements assembled octagonal lighthouse tower and the splendor of wood on the side of the nurse home was built in 1903.
In 1906, the manual was replaced by a ball fog siren engines and compressors working with a siren, which was built in a separate machine protection. Fog horn was seven meters long and its jaw was three meters in diameter.
Lighthouse had two separate overlapping light device, which were identified by the differing red-white flashing lights. Light System was first amended on gas, and then an electric in the 1930s, and also the fog signal was replaced by electric equipment nautofonilla.
Cranial extension of the lighthouse and the red splendor of wooden housing is a Finnish nurse photographed lighthouses, the lighthouse Marjaniemi addition, it is the only lighthouse in which where you can drive a car."

Beautiful light at the entrance of the old Compressor House at Geevor tin mine. The building was used to create compressed air for equipment down the mines.
For an account of my trip to Cornwall, with more pictures from Geevor, and lots of interest to anyone who’s watched Poldark:
Entrance to the compressor house, with the sea beyond.

[Enlarge this one and look around.]
With my three uploads today I've been looking at reflections in the windows of the foghorn shed at the Low Head Lighthouse in northern Tasmania. Once again we see the view behind me of the sea, sky and clouds. And through the glass we also catch a glimpse of the air compressors of this massive foghorn that can be heard 30 kilometres out to sea. But with the reflection it creates an almost surreal image in the René Magritte sense.
It was installed in 1929, and if you look closely you can see some of the fine engineering that went into producing this compressor.
The compressor house on a different day - no fog and actually plenty of sunshine. Fantastic structure.

Vanmorgen ging trein 14527 defect en strandde in Hoorn met een defecte compressor. Na bijna zes uur was er eindelijk een hulploc ter plaatse om de trein naar de Watergraafsmeer te slepen. Omdat er geen 1700 beschikbaar was werd de oplossing uit Rotterdam gehaald in de vorm van de 186 115. Uiteindelijk kwam de bijzondere combinatie als trein 89117 door Amsterdam Centraal.
central station square: An eye-catcher of the square is the roof, which consists of a "bulb roof". The 24 meter high roof rests on seven pillars. The roof contains 49 transparent air cushions, into which air is continuously blown by air compressors to maintain a slight overpressure. They have a diameter of about seven meters and are made of ETFE foil, which should make them self-cleaning. The air cushions weigh little, but the total roof weighs about 500,000 kg.
Die Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund zählt zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten der “Route Industriekultur”. Hier ein Teil der letzten noch erhaltene Maschinenhalle mit den Dampfkompressoren (Baujahr 1928)
im Ruhrgebiet. Die Anlage wurde im Dezember 1992 außer Betrieb gesetzt.
The Hansa coking plant in Dortmund is one of the sights of the "Route of Industrial Culture". Here is a part of the last remaining machine hall with the steam compressors (built in 1928)
at "Ruhrgebiet". The plant was decommissioned in December 1992.
De Compressorenhal bevindt zich op de eerste verdieping van het indrukwekkende Energiegebouw.
In de grote persluchthal stonden de luchtcompressoren. Beneden in de mijn werden de machines met perslucht aangedreven om het ontploffingsgevaar via elektrische vonken te vermijden.

The Compressor Hall is located on the first floor of the impressive Energy Building.
The air compressors were located in the large compressor hall. Down in the mine, the machines were powered by compressed air to avoid the risk of explosion via electric sparks.
