Dinorwic had 5 air-compressors in the quarry, the most well-known being the Compressor House on the Braich side of the quarry at Australia level. This example is lower down on the Garret side at Penrhydd Level, next to the Smithy and the start of the Foxes Path.
From the looks of this photo, there appeared to be no other merchandise around this lone compressor, but actually still a good bit of stuff on the shelves behind me.

Once upon a time, pharmacists made up their own medicines and bottled them. Then they had to get a cork into the bottle. This is a cork compressor; the fresh cork is placed in the slot and the handle forced shut to compress it. The cork is quickly put in the bottle neck where it expands to seal the bottle. Not high tech, but it worked!
Compressor rotors and inlet guide vane (IGV) housings from Westinghouse J34 turbojet engines.
These parts were probably removed from J34s that were once installed on Lockheed P2V / P-2 Neptune maritime patrol aircraft. Minden Air used to operate P2V / P-2 fire-fighting air tankers, such as Tanker 55:

Built in the early 1950's, the compressor house holds three Sentinel double acting two stage air compressors which supplied compressed air around the mine. The air was piped to storage tanks outside the building and then underground via a network of steel pipes to power rockdrills and other machinery.
Old compressor found in the basement of a parking garage in Baltimore. Thought it was a DC motor based on a sign on the floor nearby, whoops.
To the left of this photo, hidden by the dense undergrowth and years of fly-tipping, is a site of immense importance in the history of Cornish mining. It was here, at New Sump Shaft, that the first true Cornish Beam Engine, designed by Richard Trevithick, was put to work in August 1816. It worked continuously until 1912.

Photoshop
° Since I found the cars and pillar on the right of the original shot ( see below ) to be some really disturbing elements I copied half the car and mirrored it,
after positioning perfectly I copied the Mercedes logo from the original shot and pasted it on top. Of course now there ain't a steering wheel no more ;).
° Cropped.
° Brightness with luminosity mask made the car more shiny.
° A cooling photo filter with a banded gradient to get the blues in the reflection more out, a warming filter on the bottom ( normal gradient ).
° High pass sharpening ( see below ).

a utility water compressor for pressurized washers used for cleaning pavers, sidewalks or automobiles. in some occasions this maybe used for small farms. makes a nice model for still life photography
I love mechanical abstracts of new of old mechanical beasts. Theis is the compressor of a helicopter turboshaft engine at a military museum/junk yard. Lith printed on Kodak polycontrast RC paper that expired in 1979....if anyone has some laying around in their darkroom not doing anything, I can definitely use it. It is useless for standard printing, but does some very nice things when lithed.
