[SEL] New acquisition

[Larry Evans]

Hi......

My brother and I recently got hold of a really neat old air compressor on a 
big cart with tall steel wheels.  At present it is powered by an electric 3 
hp. three phase motor but the original LeRoi MH 3 power unit came along 
with it.  The plan is to put the LeRoi back on the cart to power the 
compressor if it proves to be machanically sound.  Take a look at:

to see some pictures of both units.

It seems that literature is a little scarce for LeRoi engines and would 
like to know if what Ed at Hit and Miss Ent. has covers this model.  It is 
a 2 cylinder upright hopper cooled machine in a factory made enclosure.  I 
have not had time yet to look real close but it seems intact and externally 
everything seems in good shape and it is not stuck.  Also would like to 
know approximate date of manufacture and horsepower and rpm for it.

Since there are not too many pictures on the new web page I tried using 
thumbnails that are large enough to view in their own right but are 
clickable for larger images.  I'd like to know if this works out o.k. for 
dial up connections or if I should go back to smaller thumbnails.
