It was great during the winter months but you sure didn't want to spend too much time in the compressor room in the middle of summer!
It had a pretty large radiator cooled by a good sized fan blade that was driven by the twin shaft compressor motor. (3 phase)
Unfortunately the compressor room was also where the 50 ton Dake shop press, parts washers, etc., were located. It was miserable in there changing axle bearings in mid-August.
I've seen pictures of those three cylinder compressors before and my first thought was why? After seeing them up close and personal and how tiny the cylinders are, it was self evident.
