[Leica] [OM] IMG: More Kodak APS Images

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for looking, Nathan.  During much of my 39 years out there, that 
particular compressor system was the busiest, most necessary machine in 
our plant.  "My folks" were responsible for its operation and its 
maintenance, and knew its importance to three wind tunnels and their 
test programs.  Allis-Chalmers built some tough machines!

Displays were set up showing items of interest, and cameras were permitted.  I took advantage of this opportunity to capture a few images to which I had not had access previously.  I am almost positive that the Kodak APS camera was my choice that day.

The main drive system for the large tunnels originally had 216,000 HP on one shaft, and has since been upgraded.  Here is a view of the compressor for the transonic tunnel.
