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.

FirstEnergy’s Springdale Generating Facility in Springdale Township, Pa., completed its first major maintenance outage in summer 2015. Reliability upgrades at the gas-fired power plant included new compressor casings to minimize out-of-service time, standard maintenance work on the combustion turbines to keep them running well, and a new control system to provide the units greater operating flexibility while achieving environmental requirements.
Located in the Blow House at Bethlehem Steel, this is one of many compressors that made the "blast" for the blast furnaces.

Not my compressor, but the one at work This was regularly drained as well. Made quite the mess of our patterns and jigs nearby.
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.
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.

Cedar Key is a city in Levy County, Florida, United States. The population was 702 at the 2010 census. The Cedar Keys are a cluster of islands near the mainland. Most of the developed area of the city has been on Way Key since the end of the 19th century. The Cedar Keys are named for the Eastern Red Cedar, Juniperus virginiana, once abundant in the area.
The old-fashioned fishing village is now a tourist center with several regionally famous seafood restaurants. The village holds two festivals a year, the Spring Sidewalk Art Festival and the Fall Seafood Festival, that each attract thousands of visitors to the area.
In 1950, Hurricane Easy, a category 3 storm with 125-mile-per-hour (201 km/h) winds, looped around Cedar Key three times before finally making landfall, dumping 38 inches (970 mm) of rain and destroying two-thirds of the homes. Luckily, the storm came ashore at low tide, so the surge was only 5 feet (1.5 m).
Hurricane Elena followed a similar path in 1985, but did not make landfall. Packing 115-mile-per-hour (185 km/h) winds, the storm churned for two days in the Gulf, 50 miles (80 km) to the west, battering the waterfront. All the businesses and restaurants on Dock Street were either damaged or destroyed, and a section of the seawall collapsed.
After a statewide ban on large-scale net fishing went into effect July 1, 1995, a government retraining program helped many local fishermen begin farming clams in the muddy waters. Today Cedar Key's clam-based aquaculture is a multimillion-dollar industry.
A local museum exhibit displays a reproduction of one of the first air conditioning installations. The system, with compressor and fans, was used in Cedar Key to ease the lot of malaria patients.
Cedar Key is home to the George T. Lewis Airport (CDK).

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.
