Lighthouse engine room, Point of Ardnamurchan

Échelle du sujet : non renseignée

Description

In the foreground is an air compressor. Two of these (with one spare) were needed to operate the fog horn (see Foghorn at Ardnamurchan).
In the background is a generator. Presumably this was used to charge the lamp batteries. See Machinery House, Ardnamurchan Lighthouse for another view of the engine room.)
