One of the compressors onboard HMS Alliance, the only surviving WW2 british submarine, preserved at the Naval Submarine Museum in Gosport, near Portsmouth, Hampshire.
I was in Hialeah again on Friday and while visiting a paint shop a pendejo blocked me in. Having several minutes to kill, I shot these.
A few months ago a photo club member posted an image of this fence from a different angle. She was gracious enough to share it's location. I first photoed it on a sunny day, there were real contrast problems with splotches of light & shadow. I later went back on a overcast day & got it with more even lighting. Then there was a low snow day, it's up about 4500'. I went back the morning the snow stopped. I have other pictures that show the snow a bit better but I like the way the bicycles show from this angle. I met the woman who's house this fronts, she plans to add to it as bicycles become available. Just a quirk for her living in the mountains.
Air Compressor Converted to Silent Running, for Cortina MK4 projects for air tools, paint and just blowing up tyer's
Seen adjacent to the parking lot at Almaden Quicksilver County Park. This is among assorted mercury mining tools and equipment set out on display.
A sign indicates that this compressor was a gasoline powered model from Gardner-Denver Company based in Quincy, IL. Note that the tires have deteriorated yet the wheels remain.
"Heartlands, a 19-acre Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, is a family friendly visitor attraction that embodies Cornish culture. Nestled just off the A30 at Pool, Redruth, in the mining heart of Cornwall. Heartlands is a place where people can learn, explore, play and relax." (www.heartlandscornwall.com/).
The Heartlands site is centred around Robinson's Shaft, South Crofty Mine. While many Cornish tin mines ceased operating when tin prices collapsed after WWI, South Crofty continued through the 20th century, buying up some neighbouring mines along the way, such as Dolcoath. Robinson's Shaft had been a copper mining shaft in the early 19th century, and in 1900 work started on developing it into a tin mining operation (which basically means going deeper). By 1908 it was South Crofty's principal tin mining shaft, and in 1910 it was one of the first Cornish mines to use electric powered drills.
The pump engine stopped working at 1.15pm on 1 May 1955, and was the last Cornish Engine (built in Hayle) to work on a Cornish Mine. By 1967 Robinson's shaft was playing a subsidiary role to New Cook's Shaft, the former being used as access for men and equipment, while the ore was raised via the latter. This site closed in 1996, and as the last operating tin mine in Europe, South Crofty closed completely in 1998.
Heartlands was funded by the National Lottery and was opened on 20 April 2012 after 14 years of planning. It has been dubbed as Cornwall's first free 'cultural playground'.
The photo shows the compressor house, which is grade II listed.

Abandoned Compressor, Greenhill Mine, Blairmore, Alberta
Orphaned natural gas compressor station. Orphaned oil and gas sites long ago forgotten littler Utah and are leaking various contaminants into the ground and air. San Juan County, Utah.
In the Compressor Room for the big Airship Hanger at the Tillamook Air Museum. This would have been used to fill the Airships with Helium, during World War II.
I believe this is an early air compressor exhibited at the most excellent Steam Giants of Brede Waterworks museum, Rye, East Sussex.
The museum has many exhibits including a preserved nuclear bunker which would have operated as a water distribution control centre in the event of thermo-nuclear conflict.
