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.

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.
I know I mostly post photos of girly little dolls and sometimes budget fashion wristwatches, but once in a while I actually do real-world non-sissy stuff, like adding air to car tires.
Admittedly, the car is a kinda sissy Subaru, but at least it's a "Wilderness Edition" Subaru. And those Yokahama Geolandar tires are held in high regard by... uhmm... by the kind of people who go online to argue the relative merits of various car tires.
I'm just diggin' a deeper hole for myself, ain't I?
I wasn't really expecting much from a battery-powered air compressor, but this DeWalt is the real deal!
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.
