We popped through into another hall that now housed three derelict JOY compressors but had obviously house one big turbine at some point. Judging by the labelling around the place it was a turbo generator for electricity production in this part..
Out with our old leaking compressor box. K&W Tool Boxes in Bronson, MI is building a custom box that uses a leak-proof seal design. K&W specializes in custom aluminum boxes. www.customtoolboxes.com. We will be completely redesigning the compressor system using twin Extreme Air compressors by Extreme Outback Products, www.extremeoutback.com, a 5-gallon ACCUAIR aluminum tank, www.accuairsuspension.com and a new air management system designed by Hellwig www.hellwigproducts.com and Extreme Outback Products.
This compressor facility provided the miners in the Cossack Tunnel with compressed air to operate their tools and machinery.
White Knob Mining District
Significant copper deposits were first discovered in the White Knob Mountains in 1879 and by 1884, the White Knob Area was being developed into one of the largest copper producers in Idaho. The tram towers here, from the early 1900s, were part of an aerial tram system in the White Knob Mining District used to carry ore over four miles down the mountain to the smelter and blast furnaces from the Empire Mine to the railroad. This historic mining complex contains a railroad grade, industrial mining buildings and features, adits and ruins of miner’s residences. Recent work has restored the tram towers and railroad trestle.
The largest (that I am aware of) in the Kismet range of pumps by William Turner & Bro LTD of Sheffield England.
The one has been restored with considerable effort!
I decided to add a compressor to the engine as it shows clearly in the prototype photo I'm working from. Also- last winter I was making what I could from material on hand before making a purchase specifically for this engine, and this was a fun little project.
I scaled down the model shown in the New Shay book and simplified it a little. it mounts under the front corner of the cab on the left side of the engine.
