Operator's Manual for an Ingersoll Rand Mdl. 'D-85'...
Dear All!
=20
Recently brung home a handsome 'Ingersoll Rand' Portable (tows behing =
yer Car or Truck) Air Compressor...
=20
It is a Three Cylinder, Two Stage, Air Cooled (ie Heat-exchange) =
Air-Pump, driven by a water-cooled four cylinder side-valve Waukeshaw =
Gasolene Engine of 3 5/8 by 4 1/2 bore-and-stroke.
Model designation of the Unit is "D-85", which I think may indicate an =
85 cfm output.
My understanding is that it had been used to run Jack-Hammers in the =
mid-to-latter 'fourties, then was used some little bit in the early =
'sixties, then sat, appearantly waitin' for me to bring 'er Home...
Poor ol' Ingersoll Rand is just scratchin' their head, and havin' =
troubles comeing up with much. I am told their main ( New York) archives =
were ruined in a flood in 1963 or so...'basements' and their perils!
I am having some lack of results locateing an Operator's Manual, or =
other tech-data Manuals...and if possibly anyone has an Aunt or Uncle or =
Grandpappy or what working for Ingersoll Rand, or for of their older =
Distributors or Dealers, or workin' for some concern, some Company as =
had maybe used these Compressors, as still has their Library or boxes of =
'Manuals' laying around, maybe their potential interest in this matter =
could be roused to help me with this?
I should be very grateful !
I can figure this thing out well enough I expect, but there is nothing =
like the 'Horse's Mouth' for those little tid-bits of info that =
sometimes mean so much...
So I figure I may as well ask!
Sincerely,
Phil
