Hi Bill
I have a old BEN Patents Ltd Compressor unit, It has a Century RS P4 motor driving it (which needs attention at the moment). I can’t seem to find any info on it online but I do have a couple of pics for you. The second pic is the motor with the back off.

The last pic is a unit which closely resembles the compressor unit on my setup.

Hi Steve. Just a thought. Why is the storage tank in the middle necessitating a long V belt(s)? I am no expert but just looking through a tool catalogue of 1950s, with a few pics of BEN compressors and there is nothing like that config. Maybe Maybe specific to user?? Anyway thought I would add a comment as you didn’t get much of a response. Cheers, Graham.
