I was lucky enough to be invited to a demonstration of this prototype tanning machine. As you can see, in the interest of reliability, the manufacturer has opted for an Atlas Copco compressor to power the unit. I suspect the equivalent Ingersoll Rand vane-type machine was rejected on cost grounds as well. The gentleman providing the demonstration has just got back from his lunch break and is checking air-flow and the oil cooling system temperature guages. I believe he had a chicken liver salad and a glass of beer.
This is a most extraordinary picture Diplo. I think we need more of an explanation. The location is bizarre, almost as if the compressor and its demonstrator are tiny miniatures in a hole in the road.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't got his 'phone number by any chance, have you?
ReplyDeletesorry - but i believe he rides a Harley Davidson at the weekends,if that helps.
ReplyDeletePeter, all the clues you need are in the post, well not the post but the post.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see what you mean Diplo. It's a quarry in the Atlas Copco Mountains.
