What could be more appropriate for a shipping container office than a aluminum compressor coil doormat?
The capable mass of concrete and steel joists is looking somewhat aged but holding together perfectly well in spite of abandonment. The same cannot be said for the frail iron staircases which allow access to the upper levels! Many of the steps are somewhat warped, and the whole frame creaks disconcertingly. Thankfully the old trick of carefully distributing one's weight to the metal bolts at the side of the stairs did the trick, and they held up without too much complaining.

A late 1970's photo of R&G Wilcox's Holman Compressor at their Oundle works. One of the first jobs every morning was to start this beast up, a task well remembered if any former employees ever see these photos!. It was in continual use from 1972 until 1993 when a Hydrovane was installed, however this machine was retained as a standby until the works closed in 1995.
At the rear of one of the Blondin winding enginehouses at Pen-yr-Orsedd slate quarry stands this Ingersoll-Sergeant piston-valve compressor dating from the 1890s.
The Ingersoll-Sergeant piston.valve compressor was introduced in about 1891 and was distinguished by the method of admitting air to the cylinder, it being drawn in down a hollow piston tail-rod. The piston itself was hollow and provided with internal inlet valves. The idea was to accelerate the operation of the inlet valves by utilising the reversal of the piston at the end of each stroke, thus improving the volumetric efficiency of the compressor, and to reduce the clearance volume in the cylinder to permit the development of high pressures in a single stage. This example was made in the United States to a design of which production ceased in 1900.
Originally powered by a steam engine, the electric motor that provided drive after 1906 can be seen in the background.
