Interesting. A steam-powered, rather than electrical, air compressor installed in 1938 or thereabouts. Why steam? Hmmm....

I guess since they had the coal and the power plant making steam why not use it . One other thought would be cheaper to operate and may have provided more torque than a electric motor of that time period
