This is beautiful, the texture and tone are great. Just goes to show beauty can be found anywhere with the right eye.

This is a low lube oil pressure alarm. As the engine operates lube oil pressure must be maintained. If the pressure drops below a certain setting, the diaphragm moves opening an air valve thus blowing an air whistle. The whistle then alerted the operators of the low lube oil pressure condition.

Oil Pressure Alarm

Rick from The Tod Engine Foundation has filled in the detail of exactly what this is a picture of. As you can see in the comments, this is actually a low oil pressure alarm. When oil pressure got too low a diaphragm would open releasing air pressure which would sound a whistle and alert the operators that oil pressure in the turbine was low. Thanks Rick!
