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.
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.

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.

Dead Can Dance - 'Anabasis'
To view in stereo, sit 2-3 feet from the monitor and gently cross your eyes so that the two images become three. The one in the middle will be in 3d. If you are finding this difficult, you may be trying too hard. Viewing the original size is best.
I was up in San Francisco visiting friends. I met up with rustyjaw , TunnelBug, Dead Slow and Larry (sorry don't know your screen name) to do some exploring.
Rustyjaw suggested the location and it was great fun exploring the halls, various staircases and machinery left laying around.
Thanks guys, was greet meeting/seeing you all. We have to do that again sometime.

This model was first introduced in late 1922. Very cool air compressor. Has brass valves with Brunner Mfg Co. embossed on them and the black handles have little "B" on them. The motor is the original "Westinghouse Electric made for Brunner" with the last patent date of December 30th, 1919! Doing some online research I have found that Brunner was in business from about 1905 into the early 80's.This unit had a cost in 1923 of 370 dollars with a shipping weight of 630 pounds! Still trying to learn about this heavy beast. It ran when I got it but disassembled some outer components to clean them up and have some confusion for reassembly. Anyone with info please email me. Thanks
