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.
From the looks of this photo, there appeared to be no other merchandise around this lone compressor, but actually still a good bit of stuff on the shelves behind me.

Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.
Upgraded air compressor in action with the landing gear of the ship that's now been in development for what feels like forever.

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 ).

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.
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.
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.

Located in the Blow House at Bethlehem Steel, this is one of many compressors that made the "blast" for the blast furnaces.
Image is one half of a stereo pair.
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!
