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.

° 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.

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.
a utility water compressor for pressurized washers used for cleaning pavers, sidewalks or automobiles. in some occasions this maybe used for small farms. makes a nice model for still life photography
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.

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.
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.

There's a bit more detail in larger versions.
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.

Compressor blades from a Rolls Royce Turbomeca Adour. This is the 17th one built and was fitted to a Jaguar.
Air tools are used to maintain the railway and this wagon has been built on a bogie to provide an air supply on site.
