@mrdeisel335 the knobby thing at 1:20 is the compressor cylinder. This engine consists of two double-acting power cylinders and a double-acting compressor cylinder all on a single crank.
@mrdeisel335 this engine was used to compress a natural gas pipeline. Go to the video v=WGJhWu_ydfI to see a group of similar, but smaller, engines in operation.
What is that large thing in the back shown at 1:20 mark?
