Default air/steam engine powered Pfaff 30

Sometimes I get kinda silly. I had this steam engine and an air compressor and a Pfaff 30.
Yes, it stitched, but I was running it on an air bubble and ran out of pressure fast. More experimentation will be needed. No, not practical at all. But old sewing factories often ran banks of sewing machines off of steam engines.
