B707 air quality.

rog747 asked a question regarding air quality on the B747. Unlike modern aircraft,the B707 (and DC8) did not use engine bleed air to ventilate the cabin. Engine bleed air from three engines was used to drive turbocompressors. The turbocompressors then provided air to pressurise the cabin.
