This post is a bit different because it features an electric motor. It is a GE 700 horsepower, operating on 2300 volts. We don't know the age, but it was installed used, in 1964. Pretty neat, Merle, Thank You!
I have a 1953 vintage one-lung I-R compressor operating in my garage. It is a horizontal 60 gallon tank that spent its working life running pneumatic controls at about 40 PSI. Powered by its original GE motor, it now provides 100 PSI to run my air tools. The plumbing was re-worked and the motor had to have the contacts repaired, but it has been providing service to me for almost 25 years.
