The other side. 3 cylinder single stage compressor.

I just know there's zombies down there!

Looks like an electrically driven compressor to me. Possibly 3 stage. From this angle, I see no valving on the cylinders that makes me feel that's an engine. Big hairy electric motor that critters gnawed the copper off of.

I'd like one of these to put out in my yard.

And that is a Corliss valve type as Frederick mentions. I believe that is a double acting dual compound engine. The high pressure (HP) cylinder has the steam input to it, and the far cylinder is the low pressure (LP) cylinder receiving the output of the HP side. The lower the pressure the larger the cylinder, as the far cylinder is seen in a larger housing. Records indicate the James Young company had built a rolling engine with a final LP cylinder diameter of 60". This thing couldn't be more awesome. It compressed ammonia. If anhydrous ammonia, any kind of leak could quickly kill anyone near it.

Faces come out of the rain, when you're strange. Looks to be a total of 20 of them, but maybe only 4 different faces.

Maybe she lost her arms, but good thing she still has her hands stuck on top of her head.

Ipn lol I'd probably shoot myself if that filth ever touched Halcyon Hall.

Great to see heavy equipment and machines. Thanks for sharing! Love it!

Mmmmmm. More MD 20-20.

Swan dive, pike, double flip. So many choices.

I'm guessing that gauge may need some recalibrating.

It appears the big motors have drive belts that go below to another level. Massive monsters they are, all copper still intact.

A massive monster! There's a people door in the lower right that offers an indication of water depth. Standard door is about 80".

Or, old days: "Don't put your fingers in there." "Ok". New days: "Don't put your fingers in there." "Where? HERE?" *crunch* *call lawyer*
