Broome Wade mystery

Ok I think it's a compressor but can anyone confirm it as a compressor or is it a pump?
Sorry the pictures not very clear and its the only pic I have, any help greatfully received.

I would say a compresser or generator , look's like the pully as 2 V belt groves in it

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a compressor,There used to be loads of them round here years ago.great bigguns, they used them in the mines.

They must have used them to pump fresh air down the mine, the bigger the mine the bigger the compressor.
