I've put a couple of pics in my album of a 1970's Holman air compressor, which I bought for scrap price & got up & running. Not mining related but might be of interest, built at a time when this country was still great & knew how to build things to last .........mini moan over Edit...By the way, nice avatar geometry, obviously a man of taste -- Regards, John...
