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.

This compressor sits in a dark room of an abandoned tuna cannery. The cannery was shut down after several botulism deaths were linked to it's products in the early '60's. The plant had only operated a few months. It's been abandoned now more than 40 years.

When I was 17, I worked in a factory for 3 years, it was the type of place where if you didn't fit in you'd get bullied.
Later, I thought about these unlikely scenarios that would take place on the shop floor. Like there was this young guy who was interested in the world (a wild fantasy) anyway he hears Desmond Tutu's speech, "...if you remain neutral during a time of injustice, then you are taking sides with the oppressor..." and it makes a big impression on him.
Not my compressor, but the one at work This was regularly drained as well. Made quite the mess of our patterns and jigs nearby.
