I've started using this method for sealing now - still perfecting it on my own dolls for now but once the new website is up I should be ready :)
Once upon a time, pharmacists made up their own medicines and bottled them. Then they had to get a cork into the bottle. This is a cork compressor; the fresh cork is placed in the slot and the handle forced shut to compress it. The cork is quickly put in the bottle neck where it expands to seal the bottle. Not high tech, but it worked!
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.

Upgraded air compressor in action with the landing gear of the ship that's now been in development for what feels like forever.
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.
a photo of an air compressor fitted to the Berliet 120x 140 engine showing the drive being taken from the timing gears. This was a common way of doing things by Berliet
To the left of this photo, hidden by the dense undergrowth and years of fly-tipping, is a site of immense importance in the history of Cornish mining. It was here, at New Sump Shaft, that the first true Cornish Beam Engine, designed by Richard Trevithick, was put to work in August 1816. It worked continuously until 1912.
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.
