Few pictures in the gallery pair an aircraft with a piece of industrial machinery, and this one shows a blower made by the Otto Schwade firm of Erfurt, Germany, with its interior exposed to reveal the diffuser and moving parts. The caption card, which the record flags as unverified, links the picture to airplanes of the First World War and dates it to between 1914 and 1918. The print comes from the collection of Oskar Ursinus, a German aviation enthusiast whose holdings document early flight and the wartime aircraft industry.
