Looking at the finished product, it's easy to see why some old iron collectors mistake Robert Best's converted Au-To compressor for an original, vintage stationary engine.
I wonder how many collectors have ever seen -much less owned - an Au-To flywheel air compressor?
...
Robert's converted compressor features a vertical fly-ball governor. Note the linkage for exhaust lockout on overrun, plus the integrated spark-saver. Very nice work.
Mixer Robert welded in horizontal intake and exhaust ports after fitting valves to the original suction and discharge pipes.
...
Robert also cut out material from the base of the cylinder to expose the crankshaft.
...
Looking very much like a factory-built engine, Robert's converted Au-To compressor engine is an attractive and certainly unique engine.
