Well yes the Australian Army did infact have Holden powered compressors. They were classifiesd as 180 cfm compressor and was of such size that it could be towed by a Landrover where as the more common 250 cfm IR compressor needed to be towed by a truck.
I personaly used one on a construction task at Larakea Bks in 1982 and have seen them over the years at various other locations.
They could only power 1 heavy breaker at any one time.
I will try and see if i can find a picture some where to post.
