You can see the second-stage cylinders behind the larger first-stage


Yes, that's right, that was why I suspected that it was 2 stage.

Hmmm ... single stage! In my limited experience, the large compressors
have been 2 stage. Now that I think about it, 2 stage gives you higher
pressure, but single stage greater cfm (for same horsepower). I think.


I am not sure, yet, if it is single stage or not. I am going to have a
look in a couple of days.
