We had an old (WWII?) vintage air compressor. It had a gas engine, and the way we started it was by derailing the drive belt and spinning it over with an old washing machine electric motor that was mounted on a board. After it spun for awhile, it would fire up. Then we had to take the belt and put back on the compressor and engine pulleys. The tank on this thing was made of about 1/2" thick steel! And steel wheels. It weighed a ton-or so it seemed! Anyway all it had for air pressure control was a pop off valve; then you just had to kill the motor. In the late '70s Dad bought a modern up right, electric powered compressor. It is still sitting in his garage. Mark.
