Atlas Copco compressor
The price was more than right at a hundred bucks, now I just have to couple it to a motor, either direct drive or by pulley. I will likely set it up for direct drive, I have a nice industrial motor that will be perfect for the task. My big question is this. What direction does this guy rotate? I found a few manuals online, complete with parts breakdowns, but nothing I have found reveals the direction of rotation. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of these compressors?

Rusty,
if it’s a V-Twin looking aluminum pump, if it’s a single or twin cylinder, rotation does not matter, if it gets to 3 or more cylinders, there will be a directional arrow on the crankshaft housing. got any pictures

Its a twin. I don't have any pictures of the actual unit at the moment, but a quick google search found this one that is damn near a twin to my unit, without the motor etc.
I wondered if they were "uni-directional" - Kind of like the genderless folk you would find at a street festival...

Figure out which way the fan has to turn to blow air over the cylinders. That will tell you the rotation needed.

Saturday night live.
He look like a man. Lol. I wouldn't want to disrespect anyone named Paton this forum by naming my compressor after an androgynous character of that name.. The fan on the flywheel is straight finned. (There is a joke there somewhere). No help in determining rotation. The only mention I found in the literature suggests anti clockwise when looking at the compressor from the motor coupling side.
