That's interesting - what's under the covers above the bacon slicer?

It is very neat indeed. Although I would have thought a long-stroke 500 single would be about the worst candidate for a blower.

Probably the builder just likes a challenge although I see he struggled to start it. I bet it sounds wonderful.
