a photo of an air compressor fitted to the Berliet 120x 140 engine showing the drive being taken from the timing gears. This was a common way of doing things by Berliet
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.
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.

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 ).
About
We went on a little week trip to Tenerife, I'll be posting many pictures of this terrific volcanic island in the Atlantic ocean.
The Mercedes Slr compressor was parked besides a Maybach at the entrance of a fancy hotel, of course I couldn't resist taking a shot.

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.
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.

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
Built in 1886 at Dolcoath's New Sump Shaft, the compressor house was designed by the mine manager Captain Josiah Thomas. It housed a Harris 12" air compressor which could supply 12 underground rock drills at a pressure of 70lbs per square inch at a depth of half a mile.
Located in the Blow House at Bethlehem Steel, this is one of many compressors that made the "blast" for the blast furnaces.

When I was 17, I worked in a factory for 3 years, it was the type of place where if you didn't fit in you'd get bullied.
Later, I thought about these unlikely scenarios that would take place on the shop floor. Like there was this young guy who was interested in the world (a wild fantasy) anyway he hears Desmond Tutu's speech, "...if you remain neutral during a time of injustice, then you are taking sides with the oppressor..." and it makes a big impression on him.
This compressor sits in a dark room of an abandoned tuna cannery. The cannery was shut down after several botulism deaths were linked to it's products in the early '60's. The plant had only operated a few months. It's been abandoned now more than 40 years.

There's a bit more detail in larger versions.
