This massive metal cylinder (I only captured half of it) was an air compressor used in underwater subway construction.
The General Electric J79 turbojet was used for multiple high performance combat aircraft, including the B-58 Hustler, F-104 Starfighter, and the very successful F-4 Phantom II. This engine generated almost 18,000 pounds of thrust. Introduced in 1954, J79 engines are still in use today.
This engine introduced a "variable stator system." That system changed the angle of the compressor vanes to maintain safe and efficient operation over a wide range of conditions. That design innovation is now commonly used on jet engines.
Seen at Virginia Air & Space Center in Hampton, Virginia.

Experimental compressor design which injects the control voltage into the screen of an ef86 pentode. As yet completely untested, use at your own risk. No liability assumed here, yada yada.
