That's an air pump as used in laboratories.

The piston should be coupled onto the crank pin, and the output is the small pipe on the left in the bottom photo

depending on the type it may need the piston oiling at times..

The disk part is the drive rotor and I think it works a bit like an electricity meter.

I have seen them used as fish tank air pumps,

Nearly forgot, they also come in twin piston versions.

I Noticed them on the Pratt Burnerd website when looking for other things, never used one though!

Sorry if this is the daft question of the century, so please do not shoot me down if you have already thought of it.

Have you made sure the camera image stabilisation is set to "on" ?

Stuart turner have a very long and interesting history in Henley, making: model engines, pumps and even motorcycles.

I've put a link here to their history.

There's a lot of people out there using museum pieces on a regular basis, most of them refitted, tidied up and made safe.

I know of a town museum that has a round bed Drummond on permanent display, not read anyone on here describing those as museum pieces though!

As an aside: I think that to comply with UK electrical regulations, motors above a certain power need to be fitted with No Volt Release systems, perhaps one of the electrical guys on here can advise?

Edited to correct auto spell correction.

That's pretty much what I expected!

Pity it had to be announced (apparently) at the SMEE rather than on here.

Sometimes two or three speed autos.

I think Hemingway do a kit for one.

I have seen plenty of specialist books on woodworking when visiting an Axminster store.

They are also very good online suppliers and I always find them helpful.

Have to say that I avoid woodworking (we do not get on well)!

How recently did you buy it and have you contacted the suppliers?

Stop worrying, Valentines day was 8 days ago, according to the Wife anyway!

Great news, pity they cannot rebuild the whole track. The mass destruction was never justified in the first place.

Hope I do not live anywhere near you, all that certainly sounds very dangerous!

Acrylic plus heat and a solvent! I would not be risking anything like that without a qualified chemist advising me.

What you are proposing sounds very hazardous in many respects, including using open flames with vaporising flammable solvents, etc, etc.

It sounds like you may be planning to operate a still, it may be necessary to have a licence for operating one of those, certainly used to be when I was indirectly involved with the chemical industries.

Sorry to be a wet blanket but you certainly need to investigate what you propose, in considerable depth, including its possible affect on insurance.

Our washing machine has a 1600 rpm spin speed, that motor must be going pdq, considering that the poly vee drive is from a very small motor pulley to a large pulley on the drum

The corrugated ones could be sold for use with mole type wrenches, or stillsons for larger sizes!
