Diving Compressor Bristol 4s.7.40

[Rik Lemmens]

Hello, I'm new, I'm not a diver, but I'm not a paintball shooter either. I searched and found a high-pressure compressor, I collect historical combustion engines. One of these engines is a very early Diesel Engine, it needs 80 Bar of compressed air to blow in the fuel, which is why I purchased the diving compressor. It's an old Bristol 4S.7.40, an engineering marvel, I would like to treat this well, and above all not do anything wrong. The engine has a three-stage compressor, but I'm going to use that extra compressor as a backup Now comes my question: is there anyone who can help me with a manual for this compressor? Thank you in advance and best regards from the Netherlands Rik

Windyairman sent me all the information about this compressor to the Netherlands, I would like to sincerely thank him, It's nice that there are still people like this who want to help someone they don't know.
I now dare to disassemble my compressor, especially the valves, which tend to char.
Greetings from the Netherlands
