It was built by Northern Telecom at its Trans-Canada plant in Montreal. Northern Telecom and its predecessor Northern Electric was for decades Canada’s largest manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. Originally a subsidiary of the AT&T-owned Western Electric for which it manufactured American-designed products for the Canadian market Northern Electric became Canadian-owned in the 1950s and in the 1960s began to design and produce equipment to meet the distinctive needs of Canadian telecommunication companies. In the 1970s through its new research subsidiary Bell Northern Research the company made a concerted shift from conventional analogue equipment into the emerging field of digital communications becoming in the 1980s the first equipment supplier to provide a complete line of fully digital switching and transmission gear. During this decade the company moved aggressively into export markets and opened manufacturing and R&D operations in several countries. The company’s sales soared during the internet boom of the 1990s but a combination of poor financial decisions and a failure to maintain its technological edge led eventually to its bankruptcy in 2009. The original Bell Northern facilities were designed with cutting edge telecommunications research and development in mind with the first three buildings on the campus featuring laboratories an extensive research library and an anechoic chamber. The anechoic chamber was the focal point of the Bell Northern Research acoustics research examining both the technology and placement of speakers and microphones in telecommunication devices. The anechoic chamber group was organized under the Industrial Design and working together with design were responsible for the development of the acoustic properties of most products.

It was built by Northern Telecom at its Trans-Canada plant in Montreal. Northern Telecom and its predecessor Northern Electric was for decades Canada’s largest manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. Originally a subsidiary of the AT&T-owned Western Electric for which it manufactured American-designed products for the Canadian market Northern Electric became Canadian-owned in the 1950s and in the 1960s began to design and produce equipment to meet the distinctive needs of Canadian telecommunication companies. In the 1970s through its new research subsidiary Bell Northern Research the company made a concerted shift from conventional analogue equipment into the emerging field of digital communications becoming in the 1980s the first equipment supplier to provide a complete line of fully digital switching and transmission gear. During this decade the company moved aggressively into export markets and opened manufacturing and R&D operations in several countries. The company’s sales soared during the internet boom of the 1990s but a combination of poor financial decisions and a failure to maintain its technological edge led eventually to its bankruptcy in 2009. The original Bell Northern facilities were designed with cutting edge telecommunications research and development in mind with the first three buildings on the campus featuring laboratories an extensive research library and an anechoic chamber. The anechoic chamber was the focal point of the Bell Northern Research acoustics research examining both the technology and placement of speakers and microphones in telecommunication devices. The anechoic chamber group was organized under the Industrial Design and working together with design were responsible for the development of the acoustic properties of most products.

(The camera permits Kit to see what Baillie sees and adapt his verbal instructions – delivered through a body-worn audio system – in real-time). The camera was sourced from a disassembled mass-market drone camera rig and then fitted to Baillie’s vest using custom-built components. Kit has also developed other custom handling equipment including a “quick-release” deployment device that was facilitated by attaching a “Petzl Frog” mounting-climbing clip to Baillie’s leash. It is still to be determined whether the rest of the equipment in this loadout is Canadian-made but several of the other items (notably the “Muff Mutts” Ear Defenders and “Ruff Wear” K9 Booties) represent interesting technical innovations in canine wearable technology and have strong Canadian provenance as a result of Baillie’s use of the technology in Alberta.

On the proper right side there is a circular patch with white and black markings and white blue and red design elements.,All of the gear in this loadout has been used by Baillie in training and in the field as part of Baillie and Kit’s SAR operations in Canmore Alberta (2013-2016). As of the last time Kit and I spoke Baillie had been deployed with this gear in the field a total of three times: during the Southern Alberta floods (June-July 2013) after a massive gas explosion in Cougar Creek in Canmore (June-July 2015) and during a search for a missing woman in Canmore (August 2015). Notably Baillie cut the pad of her paw on debris during the second deployment leading Kit to incorporate K9 booties into her regular loadout to prevent future injuries of this nature. (Taken from Acquisition Proposal context is for the whole kit see Ref. 1),To permit SAR K9s to carry out their duty in the field as safely as effectively as possible. This includes repelling into dangerous environments (like collapsed buildings) navigating dangerous terrain (including grounds littered with nails cracked cement broken glass and other debris) and staying in constant communication with handlers in the field (via body-mounted cameras and audio feedback equipment). (Taken from Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),This K9 loadout features a number of significant Canadian technical innovations. Baillie’s custom-fitted SAR K9 Vest for example is manufactured by K9 Storm Inc. of Winnipeg Manitoba. According to Kit K9 Storm represents the bleeding edge of K9 work equipment and the company fills contracts for K9 military and SAR operations all over the world.

Under normal conditions the feather pecking is light investigatory behavior where chickens probe each other. The behavior becomes problematic when the chicken being probed has feathers grasped or removed. When feathers are removed it can cause bleeding which in turn leads to cannibalism in the flock. A number of methods have been employed to combat the problems associated with feather pecking including beak-trimming flock size regulation selective breeding and eyewear. (From Artifact Worksheet see Ref. 1),Eye-glasses developed for use in chicken farming to prevent feather pecking and cannibalism. (From Artifact Worksheet see Ref. 1),The rose tinted glasses are designed to alter the colour of the image of the world around the chicken by filtering it through rose coloured glasses. The theory is that the chicken will not see the red colour of blood then the feather pecking behavior leads to bleeding thereby diminishing the cannibalistic behavior.

At the time of its adoption the colours of the flag were as they appear today but there was no standard for the national flag of Canada. We had a good design – with the distinctive red bars and maple leaf – but no way of ensuring that the same “Canadian red” would appear on each new flag produced. Worse still there was no way of preventing this red from fading embarrassingly into an ugly orange or brown – often after only a few hours exposed to the weather outside. In 1965 only a few months after the new maple leaf icon was unveiled Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson commissioned the National Research Council to find a way to standardize the flag’s distinctive red colour and make sure it didn’t fade so quickly. Dr. GunterWyszecki of the National Research Council and his Laboratory working in colour metrology was tasked with setting the quantifiable parameters for the red colour in the Canadian flag as well as working with dye manufacturers to ensure a non-fading reproducible colour that would remain consistent with each batch.,Used as a colour sample in establishing the limits of the colour red in the Canadian Maple Leaf Flag.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: The Brook Mills red dye was one of the dyes that was used to set the limits for the red colour of the modern Canadian flag.

Black synthetic buckles metal hook and zipper pull.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: An avid outdoors person from Calgary Alberta Christian Bagg was in his early twenties when he fractured his spine in a snow boarding accident at Sunshine Village Ski and Snowboard Resort in Banff National Park. Paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair Christian quickly realized that existing assistive technology tended to limit his ability and comfort rather than enhancing them. For example as his wheelchair’s components were welded he was not able to adjust the height of the seat the position of his legs and the angle at which he sat which would have made the chair much more comfortable for his six-foot-four-inch frame. A machinist by trade Christian started designing and fabricating custom wheelchairs. Rather than adapting to the wheelchair Christian had decided to adapt the technology to suit his needs and that of others. While his designs were successful (he has owned two wheelchair companies and even appeared on CBC’s Dragon’s Den in 2010) wheelchairs were only really well suited to hard and relatively flat surfaces. His access to the parks and natural environments he enjoyed so much was still either severely limited or impossible as wheelchairs were not capable of travelling over rough terrain. Christian’s love for nature and the mountains soon had him thinking about ways to access the outdoors. A problem solver by nature he started by designing and testing a custom sit-ski. He initially focused on winter sports as he saw snow as nature’s ramp that could equalize conditions and make it possible for him to cross-country ski the Banff backcountry. However his initial device had stability problems as Christian often found himself tipping over when traveling over loose snow. He eventually solved this by designing and fabricating an articulating frame that could accommodate itself to soft snow and slopes helping the rider retain his balance. The success of this articulating frame encouraged Christian to expand his efforts to include summer outdoor recreation. He began fabricating and experimenting with various cycle designs centered on the articulating frame with the goal of building himself what he initially described as a “cool mountain bike”. However Christian’s mountain biking adventures were quickly sidetracked when Lindsey Frilotte a young girl suffering from a rare mitochondrial disorder asked to borrow his new vehicle to go for a ride in the mountains. Initially reluctant Christian eventually agreed and anxiously awaited the young girl’s return upon which she declared to her mother having had “the best day of my life”. Upon seeing Lindsey’s enthusiastic reaction Christian decided to develop the Parks Explorer and make it available to other people with disabilities. While Christian has been an entrepreneur in the past he has chosen to manufacture the Parks Explorer himself usually in his basement. In order to fund each Parks Explorer he works with various partners to match donors with organizations who help people with disabilities access the outdoors. As he builds the Parks Explorer on his own time and runs a design shop at the Tom Baker Cancer Center by day he limits production to organizations which make the vehicles available to large numbers of people. So far Alberta Parks Easter Seals Camp Horizon CRIS (Community Recreational Initiatives Society) Adaptive Adventures the Calgary School Board and UBC Okanagan have been using the Parks Explorer.,Used as a storage contained.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: Christian Bagg started manufacturing and perfecting the Parks Explorer around five years ago following the development of an articulating system for his custom sit-ski. The initial prototype known as the InspiRider was a steerable vehicle that was entirely dependent on a guide known as a “sherpa” to allow the user to operate it. While the project was successful (the InspiRider is still used by CRIS Adaptive Adventures) Christian was determined to design a vehicle that would let him independently access the outdoors and the backcountry. He eventually created the Parks Explorer by perfecting and adding several components to the InspiRider including a large rear wheel and a hand-cranked propulsion system. The Parks Explorer has evolved into what is basically a mechanical skeleton that is customized to fit an organization’s needs. The frame is manufactured with stainless steel while other components use carbon-fiber (seat and fender) and aluminum (articulating assembly) to reduce weight. As there are many forms of disability development of the Parks Explorer is an ongoing process as Christian wants to help as many people access the outdoors as he can. He is working on new adaptations with University of Calgary and SAIT students. Students are usually tasked with fixing problems identified by Christian and other Parks Explorer users and are given free range as long as their solution is mechanically reliable and fits within the interface of the Parks Explorer. As the Park Explorer is an accessibility vehicle special attention is always given to reliability and each component is thoroughly tested to insure the safety and comfort of users. Several systems have so far been developed these include special seats skis electronic/battery propulsion and a self-leveling robotic front end. Also while the Parks Explorer can be propelled independently it is designed so that it can be pushed or pulled by Sherpas in order to accommodate people who cannot use the vehicle autonomously. As most Parks Explorers are financed by a third party the machine can be aesthetically modified to reflect the donor. For example Christian is currently adding sheet metal and rivets to a version of the Parks Explorer financed by the Calgary Airport Authority for Camp Horizon. Also Christian always pays particular attention to the aesthetic design of the Parks Explorer as he wants to reflect the stylish or “cool” aspect of mountain biking design and culture. He feels that an aesthetically pleasing design can help reduce the stigma related to disability as Parks Explorer users won’t stick out as disabled people but as riders of a “cool” machine which makes the experience more enjoyable. While the Parks Explorer is an innovative piece of technology Christian is reluctant to discuss that aspect of the machine. In fact he does not want people to pay attention to the technology. The Parks Explorer with all its advanced technology is specifically designed to be superseded by the simple experience of nature. The Parks Explorer is based on giving the user control over his or her experience which makes the trip more fun and more meaningful than the destination. Christian explains that because of its steering mechanism the Parks Explorer is empowering for users who depend or not on sherpas for mobility are able to choose the sights smells sounds and sights he or she desires to experience. He is working to develop the Parks Explorer into a reliable outdoor recreation tool so that users can concentrate on having fun and enjoying the outdoors instead of worrying about the technology or their disability. By donating the Parks Explorer to the museum Christian wants to further the discussion on outdoor accessibility and to showcase that quoting Alberta Parks “Everyone belongs outside.” He also wants to highlight the fact that while people with disabilities are often dependent on accessibility technology its development and fabrication is often unsustainable because of the high level of specialization required the costs involved and the limited market. Therefore he hopes to educate people to the fact that while technology can help reduce accessibility barriers it is also a barrier itself as not everyone has the capability to design and build or even purchase accessibility technology. The museum is acquiring Christian Bagg’s personal Parks Explorer. He has used it to travel and to test different components and design developments in Calgary’s various municipal parks the Kananaskis Country Parks System and Banff National Park in Alberta and the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. The vehicle has also been used for demonstrations at Camp Horizon and at various media events. Finally Christian has also displayed his Parks Explorer at various talks and conference on outdoor accessibility.,Non-motorized Ground Transportation,Cycles & cycling,Cycle accessories,,,,,,,fibre;synthetic;metal,33,40,18,,,,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2016.0147.002.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2016.0147.002.aa.cs.thumb.png, 108301,2016.0147.001,Saddlebag,Fabric synthetic and metal.,,,Brand X,Unknown,,,2015,,circa,,2,Black woven canvas with reflective strip along side pocket.

Black leather wrapped handles.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: An avid outdoors person from Calgary Alberta Christian Bagg was in his early twenties when he fractured his spine in a snow boarding accident at Sunshine Village Ski and Snowboard Resort in Banff National Park. Paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair Christian quickly realized that existing assistive technology tended to limit his ability and comfort rather than enhancing them. For example as his wheelchair’s components were welded he was not able to adjust the height of the seat the position of his legs and the angle at which he sat which would have made the chair much more comfortable for his six-foot-four-inch frame. A machinist by trade Christian started designing and fabricating custom wheelchairs. Rather than adapting to the wheelchair Christian had decided to adapt the technology to suit his needs and that of others. While his designs were successful (he has owned two wheelchair companies and even appeared on CBC’s Dragon’s Den in 2010) wheelchairs were only really well suited to hard and relatively flat surfaces. His access to the parks and natural environments he enjoyed so much was still either severely limited or impossible as wheelchairs were not capable of travelling over rough terrain. Christian’s love for nature and the mountains soon had him thinking about ways to access the outdoors. A problem solver by nature he started by designing and testing a custom sit-ski. He initially focused on winter sports as he saw snow as nature’s ramp that could equalize conditions and make it possible for him to cross-country ski the Banff backcountry. However his initial device had stability problems as Christian often found himself tipping over when traveling over loose snow. He eventually solved this by designing and fabricating an articulating frame that could accommodate itself to soft snow and slopes helping the rider retain his balance. The success of this articulating frame encouraged Christian to expand his efforts to include summer outdoor recreation. He began fabricating and experimenting with various cycle designs centered on the articulating frame with the goal of building himself what he initially described as a “cool mountain bike”. However Christian’s mountain biking adventures were quickly sidetracked when Lindsey Frilotte a young girl suffering from a rare mitochondrial disorder asked to borrow his new vehicle to go for a ride in the mountains. Initially reluctant Christian eventually agreed and anxiously awaited the young girl’s return upon which she declared to her mother having had “the best day of my life”. Upon seeing Lindsey’s enthusiastic reaction Christian decided to develop the Parks Explorer and make it available to other people with disabilities. While Christian has been an entrepreneur in the past he has chosen to manufacture the Parks Explorer himself usually in his basement. In order to fund each Parks Explorer he works with various partners to match donors with organizations who help people with disabilities access the outdoors. As he builds the Parks Explorer on his own time and runs a design shop at the Tom Baker Cancer Center by day he limits production to organizations which make the vehicles available to large numbers of people. So far Alberta Parks Easter Seals Camp Horizon CRIS (Community Recreational Initiatives Society) Adaptive Adventures the Calgary School Board and UBC Okanagan have been using the Parks Explorer. In 2017 while working on a battery powered version of the Parks Explorer Christian was invited for a ride by his mountain biking friends. He then realised that the addition of an electric motor would revolutionize the access and inclusion of the outdoors by making it possible for people with disabilities to simply ride along with their friends without anyone having to worry about where how far and how fast they are going. Since Christian had waited 22 years to get such an invite he decided to make the Parks Explorer more widely available in order to share his experience with other people. He then partnered with Icon Wheelchairs to develop manufacture and distribute two production versions: a battery powered Icon Explore and a pushed Icon Trailblazer.,A wheeled assistive technology vehicle that has been developed to help people with physical disabilities access outdoor nature trails.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: Christian Bagg started manufacturing and perfecting the Parks Explorer around five years ago following the development of an articulating system for his custom sit-ski. The initial prototype known as the InspiRider was a steerable vehicle that was entirely dependent on a guide known as a “sherpa” to allow the user to operate it. While the project was successful (the InspiRider is still used by CRIS Adaptive Adventures) Christian was determined to design a vehicle that would let him independently access the outdoors and the backcountry. He eventually created the Parks Explorer by perfecting and adding several components to the InspiRider including a large rear wheel and a hand-cranked propulsion system. The Parks Explorer has evolved into what is basically a mechanical skeleton that is customized to fit an organization’s needs. The frame is manufactured with stainless steel while other components use carbon-fiber (seat and fender) and aluminum (articulating assembly) to reduce weight. As there are many forms of disability development of the Parks Explorer is an ongoing process as Christian wants to help as many people access the outdoors as he can. He is working on new adaptations with University of Calgary and SAIT students. Students are usually tasked with fixing problems identified by Christian and other Parks Explorer users and are given free range as long as their solution is mechanically reliable and fits within the interface of the Parks Explorer. As the Park Explorer is an accessibility vehicle special attention is always given to reliability and each component is thoroughly tested to insure the safety and comfort of users. Several systems have so far been developed these include special seats skis electronic/battery propulsion and a self-leveling robotic front end. Also while the Parks Explorer can be propelled independently it is designed so that it can be pushed or pulled by Sherpas in order to accommodate people who cannot use the vehicle autonomously. As most Parks Explorers are financed by a third party the machine can be aesthetically modified to reflect the donor. For example Christian is currently adding sheet metal and rivets to a version of the Parks Explorer financed by the Calgary Airport Authority for Camp Horizon. Also Christian always pays particular attention to the aesthetic design of the Parks Explorer as he wants to reflect the stylish or “cool” aspect of mountain biking design and culture. He feels that an aesthetically pleasing design can help reduce the stigma related to disability as Parks Explorer users won’t stick out as disabled people but as riders of a “cool” machine which makes the experience more enjoyable. While the Parks Explorer is an innovative piece of technology Christian is reluctant to discuss that aspect of the machine. In fact he does not want people to pay attention to the technology. The Parks Explorer with all its advanced technology is specifically designed to be superseded by the simple experience of nature. The Parks Explorer is based on giving the user control over his or her experience which makes the trip more fun and more meaningful than the destination. Christian explains that because of its steering mechanism the Parks Explorer is empowering for users who depend or not on sherpas for mobility are able to choose the sights smells sounds and sights he or she desires to experience. He is working to develop the Parks Explorer into a reliable outdoor recreation tool so that users can concentrate on having fun and enjoying the outdoors instead of worrying about the technology or their disability. By donating the Parks Explorer to the museum Christian wants to further the discussion on outdoor accessibility and to showcase that quoting Alberta Parks “Everyone belongs outside.” He also wants to highlight the fact that while people with disabilities are often dependent on accessibility technology its development and fabrication is often unsustainable because of the high level of specialization required the costs involved and the limited market. Therefore he hopes to educate people to the fact that while technology can help reduce accessibility barriers it is also a barrier itself as not everyone has the capability to design and build or even purchase accessibility technology. The museum is acquiring Christian Bagg’s personal Parks Explorer. He has used it to travel and to test different components and design developments in Calgary’s various municipal parks the Kananaskis Country Parks System and Banff National Park in Alberta and the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. The vehicle has also been used for demonstrations at Camp Horizon and at various media events. Finally Christian has also displayed his Parks Explorer at various talks and conference on outdoor accessibility.

The markings are recessed into the metal and darkened to be able to read them.,"This Lenoir metre is one earliest surviving metric length standards. Canada began official metrification in the 1970s (see key dates below) but it has a long history of using the metric standards that date back to the 19th century. The metric system contains a rich history deriving from revolutionary France. The French realized in the 18th c that a length standard based on an unchanging physical quantity was highly desirable. The metric system proclaimed in 1795 (or Systéme International as it is officially called) grew out of a 1734 attempt to measure the distance between the Earth's equator and its North Pole. The metre was to be defined as one millionth that distance--as it turned out their measurement was very slightly in error. From 1961 the metre has been defined in terms of the frequency of a specific spectral line of the element krypton. Along with the metre the metric system adopted volume and mass standards based on the metre--the mass being defined as the amount of water held in a standard volume at a standard temperature. Canada's earliest measurement standards were enacted by Frontenac governor of Quebec for surveyors in 1674. Two years later regulations and definitions followed for weights and measures including the minot boisseau pot pinte aune chaîne romaine crochet balance etc. Following the Treaty of Paris in 1764 Canada's weights and measures were officially tied to those of the British Exchequer. Standards for towns were stamped ""G. III R"" while approved tradesmen's measures were stamped ""Clerks of the Market"". As early as 1795 official standards had been established for Newfoundland Lower Canada and Upper Canada. These early standards were generally of brass or copper. Such standards were marked for example ""G.R"" (for George III) and ""Lower Canada"". A checkerboard symbol stamped on early measuring volumes indicated that these were verified at the Exchequer in London before being brought to Canada. At the turn of the 20th century Otto Klotz a surveyor come astronomer in the government service called on the federal government to establish labs to evaluate equipment that was used in the topographic and geodetic surveys of Canada. A lab was established early in the 20th century and worked with the Dominion Observatory that was soon established nearby. However it is probably to R.H. Field a scientist at NRC to whom we probably owe the most in his efforts to establish metrology on a firm and broad base at NRC. He had many international contacts and clearly had a great interest in searching and applying new methods related to setting and maintaining the broadening base of fundamental standards. These now number 7 – length mass time temperature electric current luminous intensity and quantity. From these every other scientifically measured quantity is derived. Now at the top of the system used to set and regulate measurement and the tools to do this in Canada is NRCs Institute for National Measurement Standards. INMS is one of just 7 national agencies worldwide whose standards are intercompared to set the internationally accepted values of the 7 fundamental quantities. Historically length was measured in customary units. The foot was a common unit in many cultures although the actual length it represented varied. In England King Edward I made an effort to provide a standard of length by decreeing that the 'Iron Ulna' (taking its name from the bone of the forearm) was to be the main unit of measurement. (This later became the yard.) A measuring stick made of iron was made as a master standard yardstick for the kingdom. By decree the foot was to be one-third of a yard and the inch to be one thirty-sixth of a yard. There may have been difficulties in applying this standard; in 1324 Edward II declared ""3 barleycorns round and dry make an inch""; this was probably a more accessible standard for most people. http://www.ukmetrication.com/history2.htm These systems had disadvantages; barleycorns are scarcely uniform and metal bars expand and contract with rising and falling temperature as well as being prey to oxidation unless they are very carefully kept. The French defined the metre in 1791 as one ten millionth of the length of a line passing through Paris between the north pole and the equator. The instrument maker Etienne Lenoir constructed a bar of platinum based on this definition to serve as the realization of the metre. In 1887 the physicist Michelson proposed that interferometers be used for the measurement of length. In 1892-93 Michelson and Benoit used interferometers to determine the length of the metre in terms of the wavelength of the red line in cadmium. Thus began a long history of defining length by frequency. The metre is now defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. This definition of course depends on the definition of the second. Some day it may be defined in terms of the wavelength of light emitted by a trapped ion under very specific conditions. (From the Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1)",A brass metre stick used as a regional comparison standard for measuring distance. (From the Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),"Early standard metre signed ""Lenoir"" and ""METRE"" and stamped ""MODELE"" and with a standing figure and with a quarter circle (see photos). This brass meter bar measures 39-3/8"" x 1-1/8"" x 3/16"" (100 x 3 x 0.5 cm) and is divided and number stamped on one side every decimeter and every centimetre. The first decimeter is further divided every millimetre. Condition is generally good the brass now brown and a bit stained and with numerous scratches in the long direction (particularly on the reverse). But it seems to have survived without serious polishing. It was Etienne Lenoir who was commissioned to construct the first standard meters specifically defined as one ten-millionth of one-fourth of the terrestrial meridian based on astronomical observations which determined the length of the polar circumference of the earth. By 1793 Lenoir had constructed a large precise comparator which would serve well for the production of the provisional brass meter. The next year the Commission Temporaire des Poids et Mesures contracted for Lenoir to provide standard meters (3 cm wide by 5 mm thick divided in decimeters and centimetres and the last decimeter in millimetres) to all the French departments and districts for a total of 660 brass rules (see A. Turner 1989). But the times were difficult and materials were in short supply. And it was finally in 1799 that Lenoir's definitive standard meter made in platinum was presented to the legislature. The present ""Metre-modele"" was made by Lenoir c. 1800 designed to serve in an official bureau of verification; it bears the poinçons the stamps of Liberte representing the French Republic and of the quarter circle representing the definition of the meter in terms of a quarter of the earth's meridian (see Pommier 2000). An important rule in the history of France and in the development of international standard measures.

(From Acquisitions Worksheet see Ref. 1),Harry Brearley and English metallurgist is generally credited with the development of what he called rustless steel in 1913. At the time he experimented with steel to decrease erosion properties and increase sanitation of existing steels. In reality stainless steel was developed over many decades with research on corrosion resistant varieties dating back to mid-1700s. There was a strong military component to this research. Soldiers who cleaned their iron armour and weapons were removing a protective coat and the armour rusted easily. 1838 R. Mallet established that adding chromium to iron increased the resistance to corrosion in the alloy by providing a film on the surface of a metal. The actual development of stainless steel is recognized by experts as a body of work conducted by scientists in Europe and North America including L.B. Guillet A. M. Portevin W. Borchers E. Maurer P Monnartz B. Strauss C. Dantsizen and Harry Brearley. This is an early example of stainless steel knives made by Robert F. Mosley in Sheffield between 1914 and 1920. The handle is made of celluloid (more specifically xylonite) an early thermoplastic compound used to imitate ivory. The cutlery was developed by Ernest Stuart who worked at Robert F. Mosley Portland Works. The company was the first in the world to produce stainless steel cutlery. Development of the stainless steel had a widespread effect on the manufacturing processes facilitating mass production decreasing prices of steel goods and greatly increasing a number of products made of steel.

Born in 1976 Brad lived with his family in Mackenzie BC where he started rock climbing. In 1995 Brad fell asleep at the wheel on the 14 hour drive home from attending his grandfather’s funeral in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. In the car accident that ensued he sustained a spinal cord injury which left him with limited upper trunk control respiratory control arm sensation and movement and very limited leg function. He was given the status of C5 quadriplegic. ""The first couples weeks after the injury you’re just lying there wasting away and all the muscle is falling off you. Very quickly they try to get you to do as much as you can. It was a really low point. Going from being really independent and taking off for a week into the mountains by yourself and then being completely dependent on other people to do well everything for you. I guess."" Brad spent the majority of the following year (1996) undergoing intense physical rehabilitation at the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre. ""My mission statement was to get back to climbing despite the limitation."" In late 1997 almost three years after the car accident Brad decided it was time to get back to climbing. This was not a straight forward process as given Brad’s level of injury he now required custom-made equipment to facilitate his climbing. As a C5 quadriplegic it was essential that the system Brad and his father George designed included a comfortable seating system that provided adequate support for Brad’s legs and his torso and that did not hamper his mobility. Brad’s strength limitations and dexterity were also addressed by incorporating a mechanical system (essentially a pulley system) that made use of the muscles and strength he had retained and/or developed through rehabilitation. Brad and his team completed their first successful rappel (descent) at Cliffhanger Climbing Gym in Vancouver BC (1997). Almost four years later in 2001 Brad and his father began designing a new rig that would allow him to climb the Grand Wall of the Stawamus Chief Mountain in Squamish British Columbia. Often referred to as The Chief this granite dome towers 700 m (or 2 297 ft.) above the waters of the nearby Howe Sound fjords network. No C5 quadriplegic had ever attempted to climb to the peak before and so such an undertaking required the help and efforts of a large community of volunteers with different skill sets and specializations. These volunteers also shared in Brad’s immediate and long term goals of climbing The Chief and of getting more people particularly those with physical disabilities into rock climbing. In 2002 Brad made his first attempt to climb and reach the summit of The Chief. He climbed with a guide named Chris Geisler (see below). On their first attempt the two reached 200 meters of elevation after 7 hours of effort. George who is an engineer acknowledged the lack of precision in this design and notes that he ""used duct tape for almost everything."" The following year Brad made his second attempt with a new equipment system that he named the Yellow Contraption. Weighing in at 70 pounds this device was robust and very similar in design to the piece that I am proposing for the Museum’s collection. After 8 hours of climbing Brad and Chris reached 300 meters. A third attempt on The Chief was made by the team in 2004. The Yellow Contraption was used once again but the rigging tangled by mid-morning only a few hours into the climb and the team (both on the mountain and on the ground) spent many hours trying to fix it. Brad and Chris did not climb with the necessary tools to fix the Yellow Contraption because of the added and until this point unnecessary extra weight. By the early afternoon the temperature on the rock face was much warmer than expected as it was a particularly hot summer’s day. Given Brad’s spinal injury his body cannot control thermoregulation and as he began to overheat while the Contraption was being repaired there was the very real chance that autonomic dysreflexia (AD) could develop. AD can be triggered by the sudden onset high blood pressure and if not treated promptly it may lead to seizures strokes and even death. For his safety and the safety of his team once the Yellow Contraption was detangled Brad repelled to the base of The Chief. On 31 July 2005 Brad became the first quadriplegic to summit The Chief. He used a new system called the Blue Contraption which weighed 35 pounds and scaled the 650 meters in 14 hours. In total Brad’s goal of summiting this famous point cost approximately $50k and took almost six years to complete. I asked him what he thought about it all when we spoke on the phone a few weeks ago and he said quite candidly that ""It was horrible. It was not easy. And I want to be real about that."" Brad and his team have received recognition for their achievement in the way of news coverage at the national and community levels and through the production of documentaries with the Discovery Channel and Fringe FilmWorks Incorporated. Brad has used this attention to promote climbing and has hosted regular days where amateur para-climbers can use his equipment team and knowledge to ""hog the crag"" as he puts it. These efforts exemplify the larger socio-cultural movement of making the outdoors accessible for people with physical disabilities. Brad is also a voice for the experiences of athletes with disabilities in regards to their physical limitations and the controversial act of boosting. Given his level of spinal injury Brad’s heart rate fails to increase as would be expected when he exercises so he artificially boosts it by administering electric shocks to his legs toes or testicles. This pain stimulus which brings the heart rate down and then higher creates a 15 to 20 minute boost that results in a temporary increase in cardiovascular abilities and subsequent muscle strength. This approach is very risky because it could cause extreme autonomic dysreflexia leading to heart attack stroke or even death and it cannot be done in a way that yields consistent results. For these reasons the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has banned boosting. Research shows however that boosting does produce the desired results of increasing strength and performance abilities. Dr. Yagesh Bhambhani a professor in the faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Alberta was on the International Paralympics’ Sports Sciences Committee for the Beijing Paralympics and in 1994 he conducted a ""boosting"" study with 10 wheelchair racers. These para-athletes completed two 7.5 km races; for one race they boosted and for one race they didn’t. In the boosted state performance improved by 10 per cent. That being said in many incidences their blood pressure rose to fairly dangerous levels. Because Brad boosts he is banned from Paralympic sporting competitions. (From Acquisition proposal see Ref. 1)",Used with a physical support system to allow a disabled person to climb a mountain.,"The World Health Organization (WHO) defines assistive technology (AT) as ""any product instrument equipment or technology adapted or specially designed for improving functioning of a disabled person."" These technologies assist individuals with disabilities in being mobile and include devices that aid in ambulation. Hersh and Johnson technology and disability scholars argue that this definition isolates technologies from their technical social political and historical contexts and places the onus on people with disability to strive towards able-centric norms. Hersh and Johnson propose a definition of AT that is inclusive of products environmental modifications services and processes that enable access to and use of these products specifically by persons with disabilities. They further describe the use of AT to assist users to overcome infrastructure barriers to enable full societal participation and to accomplish activities safely and easily. This approach can be applie to mainstream technologies as well as those developed specifically for persons with some form of impairment. As is common with this type of technology these pieces are hand-made and/or hand-assembled. Brad and his father designed the High Roller to meet specific physical and ability needs. As is alluded to in the Canadian Context section the Zdanivsky’s modified their design approach several times. They began with a very light weight and flexible system which was replaced by a robust and heavy system which was replaced again by a system that remained robust but was much lighter. This was the ideal design. While the diagram below represents Brad’s set up in an indoor rock climbing facility this is the approach that he used in his attempts to climb The Chief. This is quite similar to top rope climbing where climbers use a rope that is already set up. It is also the way most gym climbing is rigged. A main line (green) provides support as a pulley line (purple) allows for mechanical summiting. A secondary line (blue) provides a back-up system.

Research shows however that boosting does produce the desired results of increasing strength and performance abilities. Dr. Yagesh Bhambhani a professor in the faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Alberta was on the International Paralympics’ Sports Sciences Committee for the Beijing Paralympics and in 1994 he conducted a ""boosting"" study with 10 wheelchair racers. These para-athletes completed two 7.5 km races; for one race they boosted and for one race they didn’t. In the boosted state performance improved by 10 per cent. That being said in many incidences their blood pressure rose to fairly dangerous levels. Because Brad boosts he is banned from Paralympic sporting competitions. (From Acquisition proposal see Ref. 1)",Part of a physical support system to allow a disabled person to climb a mountain.,"The World Health Organization (WHO) defines assistive technology (AT) as ""any product instrument equipment or technology adapted or specially designed for improving functioning of a disabled person."" These technologies assist individuals with disabilities in being mobile and include devices that aid in ambulation. Hersh and Johnson technology and disability scholars argue that this definition isolates technologies from their technical social political and historical contexts and places the onus on people with disability to strive towards able-centric norms. Hersh and Johnson propose a definition of AT that is inclusive of products environmental modifications services and processes that enable access to and use of these products specifically by persons with disabilities. They further describe the use of AT to assist users to overcome infrastructure barriers to enable full societal participation and to accomplish activities safely and easily. This approach can be applie to mainstream technologies as well as those developed specifically for persons with some form of impairment. As is common with this type of technology these pieces are hand-made and/or hand-assembled. Brad and his father designed the High Roller to meet specific physical and ability needs. As is alluded to in the Canadian Context section the Zdanivsky’s modified their design approach several times. They began with a very light weight and flexible system which was replaced by a robust and heavy system which was replaced again by a system that remained robust but was much lighter. This was the ideal design. While the diagram below represents Brad’s set up in an indoor rock climbing facility this is the approach that he used in his attempts to climb The Chief. This is quite similar to top rope climbing where climbers use a rope that is already set up. It is also the way most gym climbing is rigged.

Born in 1976 Brad lived with his family in Mackenzie BC where he started rock climbing. In 1995 Brad fell asleep at the wheel on the 14 hour drive home from attending his grandfather’s funeral in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. In the car accident that ensued he sustained a spinal cord injury which left him with limited upper trunk control respiratory control arm sensation and movement and very limited leg function. He was given the status of C5 quadriplegic. ""The first couples weeks after the injury you’re just lying there wasting away and all the muscle is falling off you. Very quickly they try to get you to do as much as you can. It was a really low point. Going from being really independent and taking off for a week into the mountains by yourself and then being completely dependent on other people to do well everything for you. I guess."" Brad spent the majority of the following year (1996) undergoing intense physical rehabilitation at the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre. ""My mission statement was to get back to climbing despite the limitation."" In late 1997 almost three years after the car accident Brad decided it was time to get back to climbing. This was not a straight forward process as given Brad’s level of injury he now required custom-made equipment to facilitate his climbing. As a C5 quadriplegic it was essential that the system Brad and his father George designed included a comfortable seating system that provided adequate support for Brad’s legs and his torso and that did not hamper his mobility. Brad’s strength limitations and dexterity were also addressed by incorporating a mechanical system (essentially a pulley system) that made use of the muscles and strength he had retained and/or developed through rehabilitation. Brad and his team completed their first successful rappel (descent) at Cliffhanger Climbing Gym in Vancouver BC (1997). Almost four years later in 2001 Brad and his father began designing a new rig that would allow him to climb the Grand Wall of the Stawamus Chief Mountain in Squamish British Columbia. Often referred to as The Chief this granite dome towers 700 m (or 2 297 ft.) above the waters of the nearby Howe Sound fjords network. No C5 quadriplegic had ever attempted to climb to the peak before and so such an undertaking required the help and efforts of a large community of volunteers with different skill sets and specializations. These volunteers also shared in Brad’s immediate and long term goals of climbing The Chief and of getting more people particularly those with physical disabilities into rock climbing. In 2002 Brad made his first attempt to climb and reach the summit of The Chief. He climbed with a guide named Chris Geisler (see below). On their first attempt the two reached 200 meters of elevation after 7 hours of effort. George who is an engineer acknowledged the lack of precision in this design and notes that he ""used duct tape for almost everything."" The following year Brad made his second attempt with a new equipment system that he named the Yellow Contraption. Weighing in at 70 pounds this device was robust and very similar in design to the piece that I am proposing for the Museum’s collection. After 8 hours of climbing Brad and Chris reached 300 meters. A third attempt on The Chief was made by the team in 2004. The Yellow Contraption was used once again but the rigging tangled by mid-morning only a few hours into the climb and the team (both on the mountain and on the ground) spent many hours trying to fix it. Brad and Chris did not climb with the necessary tools to fix the Yellow Contraption because of the added and until this point unnecessary extra weight. By the early afternoon the temperature on the rock face was much warmer than expected as it was a particularly hot summer’s day. Given Brad’s spinal injury his body cannot control thermoregulation and as he began to overheat while the Contraption was being repaired there was the very real chance that autonomic dysreflexia (AD) could develop. AD can be triggered by the sudden onset high blood pressure and if not treated promptly it may lead to seizures strokes and even death. For his safety and the safety of his team once the Yellow Contraption was detangled Brad repelled to the base of The Chief. On 31 July 2005 Brad became the first quadriplegic to summit The Chief. He used a new system called the Blue Contraption which weighed 35 pounds and scaled the 650 meters in 14 hours. In total Brad’s goal of summiting this famous point cost approximately $50k and took almost six years to complete. I asked him what he thought about it all when we spoke on the phone a few weeks ago and he said quite candidly that ""It was horrible. It was not easy. And I want to be real about that."" Brad and his team have received recognition for their achievement in the way of news coverage at the national and community levels and through the production of documentaries with the Discovery Channel and Fringe FilmWorks Incorporated. Brad has used this attention to promote climbing and has hosted regular days where amateur para-climbers can use his equipment team and knowledge to ""hog the crag"" as he puts it. These efforts exemplify the larger socio-cultural movement of making the outdoors accessible for people with physical disabilities. Brad is also a voice for the experiences of athletes with disabilities in regards to their physical limitations and the controversial act of boosting. Given his level of spinal injury Brad’s heart rate fails to increase as would be expected when he exercises so he artificially boosts it by administering electric shocks to his legs toes or testicles. This pain stimulus which brings the heart rate down and then higher creates a 15 to 20 minute boost that results in a temporary increase in cardiovascular abilities and subsequent muscle strength. This approach is very risky because it could cause extreme autonomic dysreflexia leading to heart attack stroke or even death and it cannot be done in a way that yields consistent results. For these reasons the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has banned boosting. Research shows however that boosting does produce the desired results of increasing strength and performance abilities.

(From the Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),A sliding cover for a refrigerator compartment.,This refrigerator includes several features which are representative of the early 21st century design: a bottom freezer a counter height storage drawer with smooth motion crisper bins French door ice dispenser and the stainless steel finish. The storage drawer uses air from the refrigerator and automatic humidity control to extend the life of fresh produce. Rollers help the bins glide smoothly even when they are fully loaded. The fridge also features dual evaporators that cool the refrigerator and freezer separately. The first refrigerators that included a freezer big enough to hold food were developed during the 1940s. At the time frozen food became a more common consumer item rather than a luxury item. During the Second World War canned food was shipped to feed soldiers fighting in Europe and Canadian consumers were encouraged to purchase frozen food instead. As more women entered the workforce the freezers grew in size. Since 1949 refrigerators and freezers have been built as two separate compartments. Vast majority of refrigerators had freezers located on top of the refrigerator until the early 2000s. This allowed quick access to frozen food at the eye level. In the early 2000s a change in the lifestyle of North Americans who started to purchase more fresh fruits and vegetables led to an increased demand for refrigerators that allowed to store fresh food at the eye level and frozen food in the bottom compartment. This demand is paralleled by a decrease of households that own a freezer between 1990 and 2010. In the 1930 Frigidaire introduced the “Hydrator ” a special drawer for fruits and vegetables. It was located at the bottom of the refrigerator for the ultimate temperature to store the produce. Refrigerators that feature a drawer between the fridge and the freezer section of the appliance are quite recent on the market. The drawer is often named in magazines and blogs as the most convenient change in the refrigerator design. It allows a quick access to fruits and vegetables and to snacks for children without opening the door to the appliance. French door refrigerators were first made in the early 1980s by Whirlpool but were quickly discontinued. The design came back in the 1990s as a side-by-side freezer and refrigerator and remained even as the freezers were moved to the bottom of the appliance. The first ice cube makers were installed in the refrigerators’ door in 1965 very uncommon until late 1990s.

The storage drawer uses air from the refrigerator and automatic humidity control to extend the life of fresh produce. Rollers help the bins glide smoothly even when they are fully loaded. The fridge also features dual evaporators that cool the refrigerator and freezer separately. The first refrigerators that included a freezer big enough to hold food were developed during the 1940s. At the time frozen food became a more common consumer item rather than a luxury item. During the Second World War canned food was shipped to feed soldiers fighting in Europe and Canadian consumers were encouraged to purchase frozen food instead. As more women entered the workforce the freezers grew in size. Since 1949 refrigerators and freezers have been built as two separate compartments. Vast majority of refrigerators had freezers located on top of the refrigerator until the early 2000s. This allowed quick access to frozen food at the eye level. In the early 2000s a change in the lifestyle of North Americans who started to purchase more fresh fruits and vegetables led to an increased demand for refrigerators that allowed to store fresh food at the eye level and frozen food in the bottom compartment. This demand is paralleled by a decrease of households that own a freezer between 1990 and 2010. In the 1930 Frigidaire introduced the “Hydrator ” a special drawer for fruits and vegetables. It was located at the bottom of the refrigerator for the ultimate temperature to store the produce. Refrigerators that feature a drawer between the fridge and the freezer section of the appliance are quite recent on the market. The drawer is often named in magazines and blogs as the most convenient change in the refrigerator design. It allows a quick access to fruits and vegetables and to snacks for children without opening the door to the appliance.

She seems to prefer the sleekness and smaller size of the average European appliance. From the standard whites of the pre-1950s to the pastels earth tones and vibrant colours of the 1950s 1960s and 1970s to the off-whites and whites in the 1980s and early 1990s contemporary kitchen designers and homeowners often choose stainless steel for an efficient utilitarian look. The introduction of stainless steel to fridge facades began in the late 1990s and is crossover from restaurant kitchens. Stainless steel appliances are the standard for restaurant kitchens because they withstand heavy use and because they are proven to be more sanitary for these cooking and working conditions. These standards are not necessary in most conventional home-kitchens however stainless steel appliances are for the moment a status good. (From the Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),To support items on the inside of a refrigerator to make the best use of space.,This refrigerator includes several features which are representative of the early 21st century design: a bottom freezer a counter height storage drawer with smooth motion crisper bins French door ice dispenser and the stainless steel finish. The storage drawer uses air from the refrigerator and automatic humidity control to extend the life of fresh produce. Rollers help the bins glide smoothly even when they are fully loaded. The fridge also features dual evaporators that cool the refrigerator and freezer separately. The first refrigerators that included a freezer big enough to hold food were developed during the 1940s. At the time frozen food became a more common consumer item rather than a luxury item. During the Second World War canned food was shipped to feed soldiers fighting in Europe and Canadian consumers were encouraged to purchase frozen food instead. As more women entered the workforce the freezers grew in size. Since 1949 refrigerators and freezers have been built as two separate compartments. Vast majority of refrigerators had freezers located on top of the refrigerator until the early 2000s. This allowed quick access to frozen food at the eye level. In the early 2000s a change in the lifestyle of North Americans who started to purchase more fresh fruits and vegetables led to an increased demand for refrigerators that allowed to store fresh food at the eye level and frozen food in the bottom compartment. This demand is paralleled by a decrease of households that own a freezer between 1990 and 2010. In the 1930 Frigidaire introduced the “Hydrator ” a special drawer for fruits and vegetables. It was located at the bottom of the refrigerator for the ultimate temperature to store the produce. Refrigerators that feature a drawer between the fridge and the freezer section of the appliance are quite recent on the market. The drawer is often named in magazines and blogs as the most convenient change in the refrigerator design. It allows a quick access to fruits and vegetables and to snacks for children without opening the door to the appliance. French door refrigerators were first made in the early 1980s by Whirlpool but were quickly discontinued. The design came back in the 1990s as a side-by-side freezer and refrigerator and remained even as the freezers were moved to the bottom of the appliance. The first ice cube makers were installed in the refrigerators’ door in 1965 very uncommon until late 1990s.

The the proper right door there is an ice dispenser which has a dark grey finish and a clear synthetic chute on the inside and reflective silver-coloured trim around the outside of it. The proper left and right sides and proper top are metal coated with a grey textured finish. The proper back is made up of a bare sheet of dull silver-coloured metal protruding from which is a black power cord and a white tube that comes out from the back in one area and re-enters in another area. The white tube is also secured to the back with a piece of blue tape. The interior is predominantly white with grey and silver-coloured accents on the drawers and shelves as well as clear glass and clear synthetic. Inside the drawers the drawer runners are white and silver-coloured and in the freezer compartment the drawers are all white and the upper two have clear fronts.,This refrigerator was owned for 10 months by the donor while she lived in Halifax NS. It was purchased in June 2015 and used by a family of three. The Kenmore refrigerator was purchased as it had one of the largest freezers on the market at the time. Although the owner did not like the massive size of the refrigerator she very much enjoyed the large freezer which suited her busy lifestyle. She had mentioned that the crisper (middle drawer) was a nice feature as it kept produce fresh. The family is moving and no longer want this huge appliance in their new house. They are aiming to get a more European style/size refrigerator which is smaller and compact as the owner feels that North Americans end up wasting a lot of space and food with the larger-is-better appliances. The refrigerator is in great condition with very little wear and tear and came with an extra motor for the ice dispenser as the ice dispensers on these refrigerators don’t always work perfectly. The owner is a mechanic and her only complain about the functionality of the fridge is that it is quite noisy comparing to the European brands and that the ice machine doesn’t always work well. She also doesn’t always understand why fridges such as Kenmores have to take up so much insulation space.

There is a yellow plate with red and black on the tail on both sides. The propellers are predominantly a light grey metal painted black near the hub and with red stripes at the tips.,The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was the second foreign operator to receive Lockheed C-130 Hercules. The first of four C-130Bs known locally as CC-130Bs was officially accepted in October 1960 at RCAF Station Uplands near Ottawa. The RCAF / Canadian Armed Forces received 24 CC-130Es between December 1964 and August 1968. These airplanes were followed by 14 CC-130Hs delivered in batches of five four and five between October 1974 and March 1991. The Canadian Forces received a pair of civilian L100-30s / Model 382Gs with stretched fuselages in May 1997. These airplanes are known locally as CC-130H-30s. It is worth noting that 5 CC-130Hs have been converted into tanker airplanes to refuel the Canadian military’s McDonnell Douglas CF-188 supersonic jet fighters. The RCAF as Canada’s air force is called yet again ordered 17 CC-130J with stretched fuselages in January 2008. Taken on strength between June 2010 and May 2012 these airplanes will replace older and quite worn out Hercules. They will remain in service for years to come. It is worth noting that over the years a few Canadian commercial operators also flew ten or so L100s / Model 382s the civilian version of the C-130. The first of these entered service in 1967. Two L100-30s / Model 382Gs can still be found in the Canadian civil aircraft register. Both are owned by Bradley Air Services of Kanata which operates them under the trademark name of First Air. The Hercules offered to the corporation (manufacturer number 382-4041) is the 3rd CC-130E - and the 7th CC-130 - acquired by the Canadian military. Taken on strength on February 9 1965 the airplane received the RCAF serial number 10307 (130307 from May 1970 onward). It flew with No. 435 Squadron a unit based at RCAF Station Namao (Alberta). After ten or so years spent at Namao the Hercules was converted into a navigation training airplane with the designation CC-130N / NT or Nav-Herc and used at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Winnipeg by the Canadian Forces Air Navigation School. It was one of four Hercules so modified to train navigators who would fly aboard transport airplanes (Lockheed CC-130 Hercules) or maritime patrol airplanes (Canadair CP-107 Argus or later Lockheed CP-140 Aurora) . The airplanes could be configured for either type of training by using removable pallet-mounted consoles made by Northwest Industries of Edmonton. Each of these consoles carried two student positions as well as an instructor position further back. A Hercules could either carry two identical consoles or one of each type . With the introduction of a dedicated navigation training airplane in 1991 the Hercules offered to the corporation was transferred to No. 429 Squadron a transport unit based at CFB Winnipeg. In 1993 it was converted into a search and rescue airplane a version known informally as the CC-130E(SAR). The airplane went to No. 424 Squadron a unit based at CFB Trenton (Ontario). The Hercules under discussion is the last of the CC-130Es and the oldest Hercules still flying in Canada. The RCAF wishes to repaint it in August 2012 “in previously approved Heritage colours to reflect on its 47 years of outstanding service to the Crown to Canada and Canadians.” The airplane will then be flown to various bases and at airshows. By the time it is officially retired around April 1st 2014 (?) the Hercules will have flown about 950 hours with its new colours - presumably a reproduction of the ones it carried when it went into service in 1965. (Taken directly from the Acquisition Proposal Ref. 1),Taking part in search and rescue operations.,Like its equally famous stable mate the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter supersonic fighter airplane the C-130 Hercules military transport airplane was a child of the Korean War. When the fighting began in 1950 transport crews of the U.S. Air Force (USAF) were flying half a dozen airplane types that had entered service just before during or just after the Second World War. As useful as they were these piston-powered machines had numerous limitations. Acquiring new and improved transport airplanes of medium large and very large size quickly became a priority for the USAF.As a result three General Operational Requirements were issued in 1951 and 1952. The first of these had to do with a medium size transport airplane capable of: dropping supplies or soldiers by parachute; landing supplies or soldiers on relatively short and unprepared strips or; carrying supplies or soldiers over relatively long distances. The USAF sent a request for proposals to a number of airplane makers in early February 1951. Answers came back within a matter of weeks as many makers already had a good idea of what the USAF was looking for. One of the proposals submitted by Lockheed Aircraft was selected for development in June 1951. Two prototypes of the C-130 were ordered on July 2nd. Lockheed’s winning design was quite radical for its day but it would not win any prizes for elegance. It had a blunt nose a portly fuselage and a large vertical fin. Unlike many military transport airplanes already in service though the C-130 was designed from scratch for use by the military. There was a ramp at the rear of the fuselage for example which made it possible to drive small vehicles into the cargo hold. The floor of the cargo hold was also at truck bed height to facilitate loading. The full width doors of this cargo hold could be opened in flight. Better yet the cargo hold could be pressurized an unusual feature for the time but an essential one given the possibility of having to transport wounded soldiers. With its onboard auxiliary power unit (APU) the C-130 was designed to be entirely independent of ground support vehicles and support systems when operating in the field. The highly utilitarian configuration of the C-130 would become the world standard for military transport airplanes the world over. As well the research conducted by Lockheed Aircraft to improve the loading handling and securing of cargo proved of great use to the air cargo industry in the U.S. and abroad. The very structure of the C-130 was equally advanced. The upper and lower wing skins not to mention the floor of the cargo hold did not consist of aluminium alloy panels connected by thousands of rivets which were quite heavy. They were machined from single block of aluminium alloy. Metal to metal bonding was also used a great deal thus eliminating even more rivets and allowing the use of thinner metal sheets. Much of the structure was put together using a newly perfected high strength aluminium alloy. As well some components were made of titanium a high strength yet relatively light metal seldom used before. Unlike previous military transport airplanes the C-130 was powered by turboprop engines. The T56 turboprop designed by the Allison Division of General Motors was actually developed in parallel with the C-130. There were some risks involved in proceeding this way. The T56 might have been a total flop for example. Instead it became a great success story for its manufacturer. Civilian versions of the engine powered the Lockheed Electra four-engined medium range airliner which first flew in December 1957. In turn T56s were used on a military derivative of the Electra the P3V / P-3 Orion long range maritime patrol airplane first flown in November 1959 and operated by the U.S. Navy as well several friendly countries including Canada. The Allison engine also found a niche as a replacement engine for Convair 240 / 340 / 440 twin-engined medium range airliners whose piston engines were quickly becoming obsolescent. A number of these airplanes were duly converted from the 1960s onward. A modernized and more powerful derivative of the T56 the AE 2100 powers the current version of the Hercules the Lockheed Martin C-130J or Super Hercules as the company calls its new product. Allison incidentally is now owned by the Rolls-Royce Group. Following the USAF’s decision to order two C-130 prototypes a team of Lockheed Aircraft engineers began to draw the detailed plans of the airplane. They also supervised the construction of a full size mock-up with functioning features. USAF people examined it in March and June 1952. The USAF was so impressed that it signed a production contract in September well before the prototypes were even completed. It may have been around that time if not earlier that the name Hercules was given to the C-130. The legendary strength of the ancient demigod seemed a good fit for a military transport airplane. The name also went well with Lockheed Aircraft’s longstanding use of astronomy-related names for its creations. Hercules is after all a constellation visible in the northern sky. The first prototype of the Hercules flew on August 23rd 1954. The first production airplane followed suit on April 7th 1955. Deliveries to the USAF began in December 1956. By then a decision had been made to introduce a new type of navigation radar which greatly changed the shape of the nose. Transport crews were deeply impressed by the capabilities of their new machine. It was not long before the Hercules was endearingly referred to as the Herc or Herky Bird. Foreign air forces soon began to knock on Lockheed Aircraft’s door. The first foreign customer was the Royal Australian Air Force which received its first Hercules in December 1958. By comparison the first airplane ordered by the RCAF was delivered in October 1960. Many other countries followed suit. By 1974 Hercules were flying with the armed forces of more than 35 countries around the globe. By 1977 close to 1 600 airplanes had been sold including some for commercial operators. By early 2012 about 2 400 airplanes had been delivered to military and commercial operators in more than 60 countries. The Hercules is one of the most successful military transport airplanes ever designed. The Hercules was / is a consistent money maker for its manufacturer. It helped Lockheed Aircraft now Lockheed Martin weather some pretty difficult periods in its history. As was to be expected improved versions of the Hercules military transport airplane were developed over the years (see Acquisition Proposal in Supp. Info. for list of versions and when they were first delivered). Other roles were also found for military Hercules: photographic mapping; data collecting for missile tests; radio-controlled target drone launching and controlling; search and rescue flying; polar flying with ski landing gear; mid-air recovering of satellite capsules especially reconnaissance ones; storm chasing for weather research; mid-air recovering of aircrew shot down over enemy territory; in flight refuelling of airplanes or helicopters; transmitting emergency action messages to missile launching submarines; attacking of ground targets; launching of reconnaissance drones; and aerial firefighting. Very early on Lockheed Aircraft came to realize that the Hercules had a great deal to offer to civilian operators. The company thus spent a great deal of time and effort marketing it. A company-owned demonstrator airplane test flown in April 1964 was used to obtain a civilian type approval from the Federal Aviation Agency now the Federal Aviation Administration in 1965. A small number of orders followed for L100s or Models 382s / 382Bs as these civilian cargo airplanes were known. Deliveries began in 1965. Eager to give its airplanes better operating economics Lockheed Aircraft lengthened the fuselage of its demonstrator by about 2.55 m. Thus modified it was tested in April 1968. A number of stretched airplane the L100-20s or Models 382Es / 382Fs were delivered from 1968 onward while several existing airplanes were converted to the new design. An even longer version with a further 2.05 m stretch was test flown in August 1970. Deliveries began soon after. The longer fuselage of these L100-30s or Model 382Gs even attracted the attention of a few air forces including Canada’s. Again a number of stretched airplanes were built while many existing airplanes were converted to the new designs. All in all about 115 - 120 L100s / Model 382s were produced. As was to be expected Lockheed Aircraft developed or proposed many versions of the Hercules that never got into production: a short take off and landing (STOL) airplane - military and civilian; a vertical take off and landing (VTOL) airplane - military; a re-engined airplane - military and civilian; an amphibian airplane - military and civilian; and a twin-engine airplane - civilian. As of 2012 the Hercules is still in production. Indeed Lockheed Martin delivered the 2 400th airplane in January 2012. The production line at Marietta (Georgia) is the longest continuous operating military aircraft production line in history.

Réparti sur 9 étages il était le deuxième plus grand magasin au Canada et le 10e plus grand magasin à rayons au monde à une époque. Les électroménagers se trouvaient au 6e étage. Le début des années 1970 s’inscrit dans une période de prospérité économique au Canada. Les ventes d’électroménagers étaient en forte hausse. Histoire industrielle : Les appareils Viking étaient fabriqués par la White Consolidated Industries Canada ou WCI Manufacturing Limited une filiale de WCI dont l’usine était située à l’Assomption au Québec. Eaton avait en effet cessé de produire ces propres appareils au cours des années 1960. White Consolidated Industries était une compagnie américaine issue de la compagnie de machines à coudre White. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale avec la montée de la consommation de produits et spécifiquement les appareils ménagers la compagnie avait décidé d’élargir l’éventail de sa production et commença l’acquisition de plusieurs compagnies. En 1964 elle devint White Consolidated Industries ou WCI et comprenait la division Kelvinator Appliance Division d’American Motors Gibson la division d’électroménagers de Westinghouse et la Franklin Appliance Division de Studebaker. WCI acheta Frigidaire en 1979. L’histoire d’une fonderie à l’Assomption remonte loin dans le temps. En 1944 Édouard Roy acheta La Cie Bédard Ltée une ancienne fonderie et déménage ses locaux et forme Les Industries E. Roy Ltée. En 1961 Hupp Canada une usine de fabrication d’électroménagers remplace les industries de Roy. Il semble que Hupp Canada devint une filiale de White Consolidated Industries en 1967 dont une large part de sa production était dédiée aux marques maisons pour les détaillants.

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale avec la montée de la consommation de produits et spécifiquement les appareils ménagers la compagnie avait décidé d’élargir l’éventail de sa production et commença l’acquisition de plusieurs compagnies. En 1964 elle devint White Consolidated Industries ou WCI et comprenait la division Kelvinator Appliance Division d’American Motors Gibson la division d’électroménagers de Westinghouse et la Franklin Appliance Division de Studebaker.

Histoire industrielle : Les appareils Viking étaient fabriqués par la White Consolidated Industries Canada ou WCI Manufacturing Limited une filiale de WCI dont l’usine était située à l’Assomption au Québec. Eaton avait en effet cessé de produire ces propres appareils au cours des années 1960. White Consolidated Industries était une compagnie américaine issue de la compagnie de machines à coudre White. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale avec la montée de la consommation de produits et spécifiquement les appareils ménagers la compagnie avait décidé d’élargir l’éventail de sa production et commença l’acquisition de plusieurs compagnies. En 1964 elle devint White Consolidated Industries ou WCI et comprenait la division Kelvinator Appliance Division d’American Motors Gibson la division d’électroménagers de Westinghouse et la Franklin Appliance Division de Studebaker. WCI acheta Frigidaire en 1979. L’histoire d’une fonderie à l’Assomption remonte loin dans le temps.

Il semble que Hupp Canada devint une filiale de White Consolidated Industries en 1967 dont une large part de sa production était dédiée aux marques maisons pour les détaillants.

Fleet an American aviation pioneer entrepreneur and army officer founded Consolidated Aircraft Corp. in 1923. In early 1928 eager to have a low cost trainer he could sell on the civilian market Fleet supervised the design of the Husky Jr. which first flew in November. Consolidated Aircraft's board showed so little enthusiasm that Fleet bought the rights and formed Fleet Aircraft Inc. in February 1929. Confident of the airplane's potential but lacking a factory Fleet ordered 100 Husky Jr. from Consolidated Aircraft. The Husky Jr. proved very popular indeed and consolidated Aircraft acquired Fleet Aircraft in August 1929. Somewhat annoyed by export procedures in the US Fleet decided to form a company in Canada Fleet Aircraft of Canada Ltd which came into existence in March 1930. Canadian interests took control of the company in 1936 and renamed it Fleet Aircraft Ltd. Production of Husky Jr. derivatives known as Fleet Model 2 7 10 and 16 including the Royal Canadian Air Force's Fawn and Finch went on in Canada between 1930 and 1941 (c. 670 built). In the late 30s Fleet Aircraft manufactured a handful of Fleet 50 freighters a very innovative if under powered twin-engines bush plane. An in house design the Fleet Fort intermediate trainer was produced in relatively small number (c. 100) in 1941-42 for the RCAF. Between 1942 and 1944 the company made almost 1 650 Fairchild Cornell trainers for the RCAF and the other allied air forces and almost 100 similar airplanes for the U.S. Army Air Forces. In 1945 knowing that the war was coming to a close Fleet Aircraft acquired the rights for a private plane that was put in production as the Fleet Canuck. The company made c. 200 between 1945 and 1947. By then it had a new name Fleet Manufacturing and Aircraft Ltd that better reflected a new owner's wish to diversify company activities. The CabinCar was to be the main non-aeronautical project.,A tow-able trailer equipped with living space and amenities. This trailer is intended for leisure activities such as vacationing and camping.,Taken from acquisition proposal; reference #1: Teardrops a streamlined compact lightweight travel trailer first appeared in the 1930s and were designed around the idea of using standard 4 by 8-foot sheets of plywood with hardwood spars. Postwar teardrops tended to be plywood clad with war surplus aluminum and an outside stand up kitchen under the hatchback. There is room inside this type of trailer for two people to sleep but not to stand up as well as storage space for clothing and other items. In the mid-1950s larger trailers were in vogue. The economical teardrop went into a long slow decline disappearing completely by the mid-1960s. With the advent of the internet plans for teardrop trailers have become widely accessible and as a result this style of trailer has made a comeback since the 1990s. Since they are so light usually coming in under 1000 pounds just about any vehicle can tow one. The Fleet CabinCar was designed by J.A. Holte an engineering consultant with the industrial division of Vincent Corp. (Ref. 3) Each CabinCar was to sell for $695 one-third the price of other cabin trailers on the market at that time. While the CabinCar lived up to its promise of affordable and easy family travel its thin plywood skin was very susceptible to moisture damage. If the lacquer finish was not inspected and maintained regularly a small leak could quickly cause much structural and other damage.

This is a very early example dating to mid-1800s one of the earliest picked up by GSC. Geological Survey of Canada is a department within the Earth Sciences at NRCan. It was established in 1842 and is one of the oldest scientific agencies in Canada and one of the first government departments. GSC was created to assist in developing viable mineral industry in Canada. Since its foundation it has been the most important public institution in the history of Canadian natural resources. The GSC collection has been assembled since 1856. It formed a basis for the Victoria Memorial Museum (1907) the National Museum of Canada (Jan. 5 1927) and National Museums of Canada Corporation (April 1 1968). When the Victoria Memorial Museum was created the collection was split between the Systematic Collection of Minerals and Collection of Economic Minerals and Rocks. The ‘Economic’ collection remained at GSC. At the time Robert Bell who took over the agency in 1901 stressed the pragmatic goals of GSC – assessing Canada’s mineral potential – and its commitment to applied research and assisting resource industries. He stated that geologists devoted their attention “entirely to practical work looking to the development of our various mineral resources” (Summary Report 1902). GSC collected specimens to evaluate resources assess operations of wells and mines examine efficiencies of extraction and processing technologies support development of regulations and for educational and promotional purposes. Artifacts were used mostly by scientists who prepared reports for industries and for the government and were exhibited at national and international exhibitions. After 1907 many artifacts were physically transferred from the GSC to the Victoria and then National Museum. However GSC retained parts of the collection deemed essential to its operations. NRCan is moving out of the Booth Street campus and the buildings will be demolished in the next couple of years. GSC’s management made a decision to dismantle the collection. Rock samples that are still used by scientist will be retained and moved to a new location. The 2013-2018 NRCan’s strategic plan calls for all these samples to be properly catalogued. Pieces that are on display in the lobby museum at 601 Booth St. already belong to the Canadian Museum of Nature. CMN will also acquire rock samples that are significant to Canadian history. These fall under the “natural history” category and fit the CMN’s mandate. CSTMC is offered the collection of products of various mineral processing methods and examples of end products that have historical value. The decision to dismantle the collection does affect its integrity; at the same time since its footprint is several thousand square feet no one institution can take all the material. With no way to preserve the integrity of the collection I recommend that we make a selection from all offered artifacts to only acquire those that fill a gap in our collection and meet our mandate.,Antimony casting in the shape of a bar.,,Mining and Metallurgy,Mineral exploration,,,,,,,,metal->antimony;paper,23.5,23.5,5,,,,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0288.001.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0288.001.aa.cs.thumb.png, 108011,2015.0287.001,Pavement slab,Bituminous sand pavement,,,Unknown,Unknown,,,1927,,,,1,Black pavement with white print.

It was established in 1842 and is one of the oldest scientific agencies in Canada and one of the first government departments. GSC was created to assist in developing viable mineral industry in Canada. Since its foundation it has been the most important public institution in the history of Canadian natural resources. The GSC collection has been assembled since 1856. It formed a basis for the Victoria Memorial Museum (1907) the National Museum of Canada (Jan. 5 1927) and National Museums of Canada Corporation (April 1 1968). When the Victoria Memorial Museum was created the collection was split between the Systematic Collection of Minerals and Collection of Economic Minerals and Rocks. The ‘Economic’ collection remained at GSC. At the time Robert Bell who took over the agency in 1901 stressed the pragmatic goals of GSC – assessing Canada’s mineral potential – and its commitment to applied research and assisting resource industries. He stated that geologists devoted their attention “entirely to practical work looking to the development of our various mineral resources” (Summary Report 1902). GSC collected specimens to evaluate resources assess operations of wells and mines examine efficiencies of extraction and processing technologies support development of regulations and for educational and promotional purposes. Artifacts were used mostly by scientists who prepared reports for industries and for the government and were exhibited at national and international exhibitions. After 1907 many artifacts were physically transferred from the GSC to the Victoria and then National Museum. However GSC retained parts of the collection deemed essential to its operations. NRCan is moving out of the Booth Street campus and the buildings will be demolished in the next couple of years. GSC’s management made a decision to dismantle the collection. Rock samples that are still used by scientist will be retained and moved to a new location. The 2013-2018 NRCan’s strategic plan calls for all these samples to be properly catalogued. Pieces that are on display in the lobby museum at 601 Booth St. already belong to the Canadian Museum of Nature. CMN will also acquire rock samples that are significant to Canadian history. These fall under the “natural history” category and fit the CMN’s mandate. CSTMC is offered the collection of products of various mineral processing methods and examples of end products that have historical value. The decision to dismantle the collection does affect its integrity; at the same time since its footprint is several thousand square feet no one institution can take all the material. With no way to preserve the integrity of the collection I recommend that we make a selection from all offered artifacts to only acquire those that fill a gap in our collection and meet our mandate."".",Container for molten metals.,"Taken from acquisition proposal; ref 1: ""The Walker Mine is a past graphite producer with about 816 tons of lump graphite extracted from the mine between 1876 and 1920. Graphite was quite important to industries especially to metal processing in Canada. It has a very high melting point and resists oxidation. The property consists of 4 claims covering the past mine and 11 claims covering interesting geological context for more graphite mineralization. In 2013 the mine has been designated as economically viable again. This is a great example of the longevity of claims and of fluidity of resources and reserves in the mining cycle that may last a century.

The forward-thinking research conducted by the company has very successfully attracted investors and interest from the scientific community around the world. In 2016 General Fusion employed a team of 50 researchers who proved and prototyped advanced fusion systems. In 2016 the team has been developing a full scale fusion subsystems. (From the Acquisitions Worksheet see Ref. 1),To prove that magnetized target fusion is possible to achieve. (From the Acquisitions Worksheet see Ref. 1),The acquired artifact represents half of a spherical proof of concept device which the company used in 2001 to prove that magnetized target fusion was achievable. The second half is in the company’s lobby. That company explains that: “General Fusion’s Magnetized Target Fusion system uses a sphere filled with molten lead-lithium that is pumped to form a vortex. On each pulse magnetically-confined plasma is injected into the vortex. Around the sphere an array of pistons impact and drive a pressure wave into the centre of the sphere compressing the plasma to fusion conditions.” The device was part of the new technologies section of the Energy: Power to Choose and was subsequently donated to the permanent collection in 2015. The Energy: Power to Choose display which was completed in 2010 was accompanied by the following exhibition text: Canadian company General Fusion is exploring the commercial possibilities of Magnetized Target Fusion. A magnetic field contains and compresses deuterium and tritium. The resulting plasma is then injected into a molten mixture of lead-lithium and subjected to an acoustic shockwave that creates thermonuclear conditions. A 100 MW power plant would consume only 18 kilograms of deuterium and 60 kilograms of lithium per year and produce no radioactive by-products nor have any chance of melting down. The company promotes its technology as cheaper and less power-intensive than a Tokamak device—and as the next wave of safe clean energy.

Alors que la technologie d’aspiration a peu évoluée depuis le début du 20e siècle James Dyson a conçu un produit unique tant par son apparence que son fonctionnement. Il a révolutionné l’industrie des aspirateurs. Plutôt que d’utiliser une pompe à air motorisée pour créer une dépression qui provoque l’aspiration de poussières et débris et un sac pour les récolter l’aspirateur Dyson utilise la force centrifuge pour séparer la poussière de l’air et la déposer par gravité dans le bac. Cette force centrifuge appelée Dual Cyclone MC créé un cyclone puissant. L’air aspiré avec poussières et débris entre dans un contenant conique appelé un cyclone et circule en une spirale serrée. La force centrifuge éjecte les particules du flux d’air sur les parois du contenant et tombent dans l’autre contenant après avoir été filtrées. Dans la version multicyclonique plusieurs cyclones de diamètre plus petit sont utilisés ce qui augmente de beaucoup la force centrifuge donc la puissance de l’aspiration. Ainsi selon Dyson son aspirateur ne bloque pas et ne perd pas sa succion. Aussi nul besoin de sac et de filtre à remplacer. La technologie d’aspiration cyclonique puis multicylonique de Dyson a été reprise par plusieurs compagnies dont Samsung Electrolox Rowenta ainsi que le changement dans le design externe des appareils.

Plusieurs prix de design furent aussi attribués à son produit. D’autres changements technologiques suivirent dont le filtre HEPA en 1996 l’accroissement de la puissance de succion en 2001 avec la technologie New Root8Cyclone qui remodèle le flux d’air puis la technologie Dyson Ball en 2005.

Il a révolutionné l’industrie des aspirateurs. Plutôt que d’utiliser une pompe à air motorisée pour créer une dépression qui provoque l’aspiration de poussières et débris et un sac pour les récolter l’aspirateur Dyson utilise la force centrifuge pour séparer la poussière de l’air et la déposer par gravité dans le bac. Cette force centrifuge appelée Dual Cyclone MC créé un cyclone puissant. L’air aspiré avec poussières et débris entre dans un contenant conique appelé un cyclone et circule en une spirale serrée. La force centrifuge éjecte les particules du flux d’air sur les parois du contenant et tombent dans l’autre contenant après avoir été filtrées. Dans la version multicyclonique plusieurs cyclones de diamètre plus petit sont utilisés ce qui augmente de beaucoup la force centrifuge donc la puissance de l’aspiration. Ainsi selon Dyson son aspirateur ne bloque pas et ne perd pas sa succion. Aussi nul besoin de sac et de filtre à remplacer. La technologie d’aspiration cyclonique puis multicylonique de Dyson a été reprise par plusieurs compagnies dont Samsung Electrolox Rowenta ainsi que le changement dans le design externe des appareils.

The proper front is largely covered in dark brown and yellow bees. The entire proper front including the bees are covered in a resin which is light yellow in colour.,“Circle 1” is a work of art by Canadian artist Sarah Hatton. She was born in Wolverhampton England in 1976 and earned a BA of Fine Art from Queen’s University in 1999 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary in 2001. Hatton describes her work as an exploration of “longing transition mortality and human connections with nature.” She lives in Chelsea Quebec. Hatton is also a beekeeper and began producing “Bee Works” after a frost killed all the bees in one of her colonies. Struck by this loss she made 10 circular artworks or “mandalas” as she describes them in 2013. These works are constructed of dead bees arranged in complex patterns and preserved in thick resin on wood panels. Hatton chose patterns found in nature including the Fibonacci sequence which mathematically describes the spiraling structures of pinecones sea shells and in the case of “Circle 1 ” sunflowers. The resulting works are striking: they produce optical illusions of movement and can induce vertigo a sensation that Hatton likens to the bees’ inability to navigate after being exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides a particular context addressed by this series. Neonicotinoids are a class of pesticide first introduced in the 1990s. In the past 25 years they become one of the most widely used pesticides in the world. Neonicotinoids affect central-nervous-system functioning killing or paralyzed insects exposed to them. Neonicotinoids may be sprayed but the most popular application introduced in 2004 is as a seed coating. In North America neonicotinoid-coated seeds prevail in corn and soybean plantings the major crops of the continent’s central region. This widespread preventative use of neonicotinoids has become controversial. Neonicotinoid compounds are water soluble and environmentally persistent and environmental scientists have linked their “prophylactic” use to adverse impacts on pollinators birds earthworms and aquatic invertebrates. Preventative use of neonicotinoids has also drawn critique because it runs counter to Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM favours selective and targeted pest-treatment programs and emerged after Rachel Carson in Silent Spring (1962) provoked debate about indiscriminate pesticide use. As well neonicotinoid use is being questioned from an economic perspective. In 2014 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that there “are no clear or consistent economic benefits of neonicotinoid seed treatments in soybeans.” (EPA 2014) In Canada Ontario has become a locus for this controversy. Ontario grows 70% of all Canadian soybean and 68% of corn. Nearly 100% of corn seed and almost 60% of soybean seed available in Ontario are neonicotinoid treated. The pressure to limit this widespread neonicotinoid use has come largely from Ontario beekeepers. Over the last several years they have experienced high rates of winter beehive loss. Rates have ranged from 38% loss in 2012 to 58% in 2014 with 15% considered a normal rate of hive loss. Large number of bees are now also reported dying in the summer and fall. In 2014 the Province of Ontario became the first North American jurisdiction to limit neonicotinoid use. The legislation came into effect on July 1 2015 and is intended to curb the prophylactic applications of neonicotinoids. By 2017 all farmers wanting to sow neonicotinoid-treated seeds will have to show evidence of insect problems before being allowed to use them. Ontario’s move to limit neonicotinoid use has been resisted by industry. Crop Life Canada an industry association representing the “plant science industry ” claims that there is no “absolutely no scientific evidence” to justify the legislation claiming that neonicotinoids are “one of the safest insecticides ever developed.” This debate continues in the pages of Canada’s agricultural press where both sides contend that “science” is on their side. “Circle 1” is a powerful artwork made from unconventional materials. It speaks to—and arises out of—contemporary environmental issues related to pollinator declines and neonicotinoid use. It also serves to document debates over the role of science in agriculture. “Circle 1” was presented in a solo exhibition of “Bee Works” mounted at the Visual Voice Art Gallery in Montreal in the winter of 2015. Hatton is currently negotiating the exhibition of “Bee Works” with other art galleries in Canada and the United States which would entail the loan and continuing circulation of “Circle 1.” (From Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),“Circle 1” functions through the medium of art as a reflection and commentary on the plight of bees and other pollinators in the context of colony collapse disorder pesticide use and other environmental risks. (From Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),“Circle 1” may be defined as “conceptual art:” art made using materials and methods not traditionally deployed in painting sculpture or photography. Marcel Duchamp is credited with launching conceptual art when he attempted to display a urinal in a New York exhibition in 1917. (Godfrey 1988) Conceptual artists have since used found or “readymades” in art: this approach is considered a critique of art and has also been identified with wider social and political critiques. Hatton’s choice of bees fits within this tradition: she also shares some affinities with artists such as Mark Dion who use dead animals (typically taxidermied animals from natural-history museum collections) to produce installations or dioramas. These works contemplate the nature of museums and collections and address concerns over biodiversity loss and environmental threats. (Dion 1997) In terms of materials Hatton used bees from her own hives and received donations of dead bees from beekeepers in Canada and elsewhere. To draw the underlying patterns on the wood panel surfaces Hatton used her father’s drafting set from his university engineering studies in the 1950s.

There are also numerous other objects and different colours of inscriptions that accumulated over the course of its travels.",hitchBOT was developed in Port Credit Ontario as part of a collaborative art/research project undertaken by Dr. David Harris Smith (McMaster University) and Dr. Frauke Zeller (Ryerson University). Broadly speaking hitchBOT was designed to experiment with a new approach to artificial intelligence – as part of an emerging field the authors describe as “cultural robotics” – while also seeing whether an immobile but friendly robot could autonomously negotiate its way across a significant geographical space (i.e. from one coast of Canada to the other). The success of the project has made it one of the more interesting public examples of artificial intelligence experimentation in recent years and its rich Canadian provenance makes it an excellent addition to our existing computing and communications collection (more on this later). hitchBOT’s journey across Canada began on July 27 2014 when it was placed by the side of the road in Halifax Nova Scotia and left to negotiate its own way across Canada. Over 26 days it successfully hitchhiked over 6 000 km to Victoria British Columbia without any intervention on the part of its creators. During this time it spent hours interacting with Canadians of all ages under a variety of circumstances: it took rides in automobiles ferries and canoes; went camping; was received as guest of honour at a First Nations pow-wow; attended a wedding; and received numerous souvenirs and some companion stuffed toys and robots. In the process it gained 35K Twitter followers 12.6K Instagram followers solicited 48.2K likes on Facebook received 355K plays on Vimeo was tagged in 353 photos online and generated 195K hits on its personal website. Those who met hitchBOT also regularly posted their own images videos and stories on social media which has resulted in an incredibly rich “unofficial” archive of hitchBOT’s interactions with Canadians on the internet. The Canadian and international media also took a particular interest in hitchBOT publishing feature articles during its initial cross-Canada journey and even promoting it – and encouraging readers to give it a lift – on subsequent journeys. While the original hitchBOT was retired after the initial 2014 journey a second hitchBOT robot was built which successfully hitchhiked across Germany took a country-wide “vacation” to the Netherlands and made a partial trip across the US before being destroyed and robbed for parts in Philadelphia in August 2015. Rather than give the second robot a new name the creators opted to maintain a single identity for hitchBOT throughout the entire experiment. Interestingly and perhaps an outgrowth of the original Canadian journey online followers and fans of the robot – as well as journalists and other commentators – consistently identified and described hitchBOT as a Canadian citizen. This is despite the creators never explicitly branding hitchBOT “Canadian” as such nor willfully promoting this interpretation in interviews or other outreach activities. Beyond the extensive digital archive of its travels – which can be accessed by scrolling through hitchBOT’s social media pages visiting hitchBOT’s personal website using Google image search employing hashtags to scan other social media user accounts and reading various “official” and “unofficial” media reports – hitchBOT’s physical body is also an incredibly rich archive of its trip across Canada. As mentioned above as Canadians interacted with hitchBOT along its journey they also bought it gifts and souvenirs signed its body with well wishes and autographs and adorned it with other cultural symbols (the Salish First Nations community for example gave hitchBOT a small feather headdress to commemorate its visit). The Ontario Anishinaabe people were so enamoured by hitchBOT that they even gave it an honourary First Nations name: “Biiaabkookwe ” meaning “woman of steel.” (From Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),The hitchBOT robot uses artificial intelligence robotic gestures (lights and hand motion) global positioning software (GPS) and language functioning (voice and text) to interact with humans and persuade them to help it reach its travel/experiential goals. It also uses an onboard camera GPS and internet connection to upload images to a secure server which the hitchBOT development team then uses to post images video and stories of its travels on the web (via Twitter Facebook Instagram Vimeo Storify and hitchBOT’s personal website). (From Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1),The robot was designed to contribute to an emerging field called “cultural robotics ” which the authors say involves “the creative use of robots and AI to manifest a reflexive action highlighting the construction of values identities and beliefs” (Smith & Zeller 2015). hitchBOT’s contribution to this field can be found in its a unique approach to artificial intelligence which privileges social proficiency (i.e. “likability”) over complex on-board intelligence (i.e. “smarts”). Specifically hitchBOT was designed to be as simple non-intimidating and anthropomorphic as possible so as to encourage human interaction facilitate the formation of social bonds and increase the chances that humans would be willing to engage with the robot and help it complete simple tasks (in this case travel to several pre-determined locations across Canada). While it’s still too early to determine the long-term impact of hitchBOT and its unique contribution to cultural robotics a number of research projects are currently underway to interpret the results of the experiment and begin exploring new applications for this technology. For example hitchBOT’s creators have already entered into a partnership with Airbus to build a social robot that will accompany and entertain astronauts at the international space station and have also taken the first steps toward developing an educational robot that might assist Canadian First Nations communities with their language preservation challenges. With regards to international recognition Dr. Smith and Dr. Zeller have received a number of awards including a prestigious Silicon Valley Innovation & Entrepreneurship Top 30 Innovators Award. hitchBOT has also been featured in art galleries and festivals museums and science and technology fairs around the world.

Munsen Ontario Foundry,Canada,Ontario,Cobourg,1867,,circa,,,,Taken from acquisition worksheet: This rare ore car was made in Canada and used at Marmora Mines one of the most important iron deposits in the 19th century Canada. It is an early example of side-loading technology which is considered to be an important Canadian mining innovation. The technology described in the HA on mining is commonly referred to as the “Granby car.” The invention dated to the early 20th century is contributed to the Granby Consolidated Mining a BC mining company after which it is named. In fact the Granby car was a later example of a side-loaded self-dumping car. The ore car offered to the CSTMC is an earlier version developed decades before the actual “Granby.” Parks Canada conducted extensive research on the Canadian and technological significance of the car and concluded that it is the earliest and the most complete example of a side-loading car in Canada. Parks Canada Cultural Resource Evaluation prepared in early 2014 suggested that because of its significance the ore car should be transferred to the national collection. Provenance information from Parks Canada file: “In 1980 the remains of four railway ore-dumping cars were salvaged from the bed of the Trent River west of the Trent River Bridge where they were abandoned in 1881 after they accidentally rolled off the trans-shipping pier at Trent River. The cars were built for the Cobourg Peterborough & Marmora Mining Company around 1867-1870 and were used to transport iron ore mined in the region by rail from Blairton Ontario to the piers at the Trent River. The ore was then dumped into barges and moved upriver by barge through Hastings lock to Harwood and on to Cobourg Ontario by rail. The Hastings lock was rebuilt during the 1860s to accommodate the barge shipments of ore delivered by rail to the Waterway for transport to markets beyond. The raising of the cars was a salvage operation rather than an archeological excavation. The salvage was undertaken in the course of routine Waterway maintenance by the Trent-Severn’s staff divers and a group of volunteers not by Parks Canada’s Underwater Archaeology Taken from acquisition proposal: Service. As a result records of the original salvage site are scanty. Of the four cars originally recovered all were in various states of major deterioration. The remains of three of the four cars were stabilized by Parks Canada conservators to prevent further deterioration and are stored in the Cornwall warehouse. The fourth car (.1) was re-submerged for future retrieval but was subsequently stolen and never recovered.” Two out of three cars preserved by Parks are in pieces. We are offered the third car which is most complete. It comes with axles and a set of wheels that was originally attached to the car but have been removed during 1980s for conservation. A part of one of the axles was cored to conduct metallurgical studies. In this condition the car not only tells the story of the early ore transportation but also carries the evidence of the accident and decades under water and the conservation work that had to be undertaken after the car was salvaged. Therefore I recommend that we only acquire the body of the car the wheels and axles and do not collect any other parts and hardware as it is impossible to say from which cars the parts originally came.,To move ore on rail from a mine to a shipyard.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: Side-loaded Granby cars are considered an important Canadian innovation. They provided miners with more space to load the ore and made it easier to spread the load evenly around the car. The side panel was easy to open and the “self-dumping” mechanism allowed for a faster unloading of the ore at a port. From Parks Canada report: “The cars are extremely rare examples of 19th century Canadian-built rail dumping cars of the side-dumping design a precursor to the side-dumping Granby car Canada’s most notable contribution to mining technology of the early 20th century.”,Mining and Metallurgy,Mineral extraction,,,,,,,,metal;wood,,,,,1153 (body only excluding wheels & axles) lbs,,,, 107747,2015.0115.003,Cooling vest part,Synthetic and metal.,Active Micro climate Cooling System,,Unknown,Unknown,,,2011,,,,3,Red yellow and green synthetic (foam) pad with four square metal and synthetic black fans.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: Developed by a Canadian company; as Canadian mines become deeper and therefore hotter miners require specialized technologies to allow them to work in high temperatures.,Portable micro climate cooling system to keep miners cool in high temperature underground.,Taken from acquisition worksheet: From the Company’s web site: ACTIVE MICROCLIMATE COOLING SYSTEM: This system is designed to reduce the human body temperature so that a person wearing additional personal protective equipment may more safely withstand adverse heat conditions.

Campbell and S. Yang from University of British Columbia pioneered a new technique for measuring radial velocities of stars with unprecedented accuracy. Their spectrograph and Hydrogen-Fluoride (HF) cell combination (inspired by G. Herzberg Nobel Prize in chemistry) enabled Doppler shift measurements (radial velocities) with a precision of a few meters per second. This is an order of magnitude better than previous more traditional methods. Since then this technology has been successfully used by other teams of astronomers to detect the first extra-solar planets. Walker was in the Dept. of Geophysics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia and worked closely with staff (especially the tech staff during instrument development) at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria. Dr. Walker and his group at UBC were doing ground-breaking research with these devices and they were unique in Canada and rare world wide at the time. Two or three groups were experimenting with similar technology in the US and UK but one of the major elements of Walker's research was to verify the accuracy of the systems compared to traditional techniques. (From Acquisition Proposal Ref. 1),Is used to wrap around pipes to keep them from freezing by providing a source of heat.,Previous to Walker’s invention there were no instruments with enough resolution to detect gravitational effects on a star by a nearby orbiting invisible planet. Scientists needed to detect and measure extremely small variations in the speed with which the star moved toward or away from Earth. Walker developed a way to amplify and measure the “radial velocity” of the star through Doppler effects of the star’s spectral lines. This came to be called the “radial velocity method.” Walker’s shift to CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) technologies was pivotal. In a recent conversation with Walker he stated how surprised that he was to find astrophysicists at the DAO still using glass plates to study and measure astronomical phenomena. He developed the absorption cell to study the spectral lines with much greater precision and resolution. Walker’s 1970s development of the reticon device (2005.0039) a photodiode used to record images of astronomical phenomena represented a major step from traditional photography based astronomical research and the associated equipment (e.g. microdensitometer (1998.0275) and the Cuffy Iris photometer) towards CCD-based astronomical detectors. Its use enabled a large improvement in detector sensitivity and precision and made possible detection of rapid changes in astronomical spectra. The reticon was used with a spectrograph to determine the velocity shifts of spectral lines in stars and was a much more rapid method and with higher resolution. Typical best radial velocity measurements at this time (ca. 1970) were about 1 km/s but with the reticon Dr. Walker and his collaborators achieved measurements of the order of 100 m/s. This technology with ever more improved detectors in the mid-1990s allowed astronomers to detect the first extra-solar system planet. By 2005 almost 200 have been discovered.

Scientists needed to detect and measure extremely small variations in the speed with which the star moved toward or away from Earth. Walker developed a way to amplify and measure the “radial velocity” of the star through Doppler effects of the star’s spectral lines. This came to be called the “radial velocity method.” Walker’s shift to CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) technologies was pivotal. In a recent conversation with Walker he stated how surprised that he was to find astrophysicists at the DAO still using glass plates to study and measure astronomical phenomena. He developed the absorption cell to study the spectral lines with much greater precision and resolution. Walker’s 1970s development of the reticon device (2005.0039) a photodiode used to record images of astronomical phenomena represented a major step from traditional photography based astronomical research and the associated equipment (e.g. microdensitometer (1998.0275) and the Cuffy Iris photometer) towards CCD-based astronomical detectors. Its use enabled a large improvement in detector sensitivity and precision and made possible detection of rapid changes in astronomical spectra. The reticon was used with a spectrograph to determine the velocity shifts of spectral lines in stars and was a much more rapid method and with higher resolution. Typical best radial velocity measurements at this time (ca. 1970) were about 1 km/s but with the reticon Dr. Walker and his collaborators achieved measurements of the order of 100 m/s. This technology with ever more improved detectors in the mid-1990s allowed astronomers to detect the first extra-solar system planet. By 2005 almost 200 have been discovered.

Dr. Simon Bryant was one of the doctors who did a tour in August 2015. I asked for Dr. Bryant to collect items that reflected the MSF experience and mission. On August 3rd 2015 at about 3 a.m. 103 adults and 15 children from fourteen countries embarked on a XX metre inflatable raft in Libya and proceeded north propelled by an old 40-horsepower outboard engine and the need to escape from violence poverty and persecution in their countries of origin. They relied on this gimbaled marine compass provided by the smugglers who organized their trip to maintain a northerly bearing. After a distress call was received the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center in Rome instructed the search and rescue vessel Phoenix a collaboration between MOAS (Migrant Offshore Aid Station) and MSF (Medecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders) to proceed to the assistance of these people. They were subsequently intercepted without incident at 10 a.m. about 20 nautical miles north of Zuwara Libya at latitude 33 24 north and longitude 011 57 east. The accompanying photo of the inflatable raft and its occupants was taken on first approach from the fast RHIB (rigid hull inflatable boat) despatched from the Phoenix just prior to lifejackets being provided to those in the raft. All aboard the raft were transferred by several shuttles of the RHIB to the Phoenix where they received drinking water food dry clothing and medical care as needed. Later the same day all those rescued were transferred to two Italian Coast Guard vessels and taken to Italy. The Phoenix then returned to the search and rescue zone. “Looking at this compass I can only wonder what it might feel like to steer by it towards the unknown under those circumstances at great risk” -Simon Bryant-,To align itself with the geographic meridian and provide a constant true north indication regarless of the rolling pitching and yawing of the vessel it is on.,,Marine Transportation,Navigation instruments & equipment,,,,,,,,synthetic;wood;glass;metal;fluid,25,25,16,,,,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0063.001.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0063.001.aa.cs.thumb.png, 107611,2015.0062.001,Flag,Synthetic fabric? and synthetic dees.,,,Unknown,Unknown,,,,,,,1,Cream coloured [heavily soiled] mesh flag with red and black print white synthetic dees and white ropes.

One of 8 items obtained by Canadian Dr. Simon Bryant while on tour for Medecins Sans Frontier (MSF) on the M.Y. Phoenix (http://blogs.msf.org/en/staff/blogs/moving-stories/bringing-home-the-rescue-zone). In 2015 MSF Canada has been active in the migrant crisis on the Mediterranean. Dr. Simon Bryant was one of the doctors who did a tour in August 2015. I asked for Dr. Bryant to collect items that reflected the MSF experience and mission. Coveralls such as this one were used by MSF staff only while on the rhib (rigid hull inflatable boat) and in potential contact with contaminants on board the boats from which people were being rescued. Although other organizations may have used more extensive personal protective equipment including facemasks when assisting the people who were rescued this was judged by MSF to be unnecessary and “dehumanizing” not to mention uncomfortably hot to wear. This coverall was worn by Dr. Simon Bryant for the last two rescues assisted by MSF aboard the MY Phoenix on Saturday the 19th of September 2015. Three rubber inflatable dinghies with a total of 301 people aboard were intercepted. The first was at 08:45 a.m. at latitude 33 20’ N longitude 013 35’ E and the next two were at 12:05 p.m. latitude 33 34 5’ N longitude 013 55 7’ E. “Simon” was at one point written on the left chest area in permanent black marker but he subsequently placed an MSF sticker over that; the mission was a team effort.",Worn during medical examinations.,,Medical Technology,Medical equipment,Medical supplies,,,,,,,synthetic;metal,5,50,67,,,,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0061.001.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0061.001.aa.cs.thumb.png, 107609,2015.0060.003,Airway artificial,All synthetic parts.,70mm,,Rusch,Unknown,,,2015,,circa,,3,Clear semi-flexible synthetic with a white synthetic insert used to identify its size.,Taken from curatorial worksheet (reference 1): “Three “Gudel oral airways which lived in my pocket during the mission and may have seen use (sanitized as needed).” Dr Bryant.

Red synthetic (?) turning lights.,As noted in the Historical Assessment on Motorcycles “Canadians purchased more motorcycles made by British manufacturers than by any other European makers. Especially popular were those from Triumph Norton and BSA.” (ref.4) The Triumph Trident is also identified in the ‘Collection Needs’ portion of the Motorcycle Collection Assessment. (Acquisition Proposal Ref.2) This motorcycle is being donated to the Museum by its original purchaser Mr. Don Lanctot. It is original showing some age but is complete and in excellent running order. It was used for trips across Canada (all provinces except Newfoundland no territories) from the late 1960s to the late1980s. This type of motorcycle is very desirable among Vintage and ‘Survivor’ Motorcycle enthusiasts and collectors. (Acquisition Proposal Ref.3),To provide means of personal transportation.,The Triumph Trident was the last major motorcycle developed by Triumph Engineering at Meriden West Midlands. It was a 750cc air-cooled unit construction (the engine and gearbox components share a single casing) overhead valve engine (OVH engine) with four gears and a conventional chassis and suspension. The OVH engine was an improvement over the flathead engine as the camshaft was installed inside the engine block and valves operated through lifters pushrods and rocker arms. (ref.1) This type of motorcycle was sold under both the Triumph and Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) marques. Its design varied depending on which name is was sold under: vertical cylinders for the T150 Trident and inclined ones for the matching BSA Rocket 3. This difference had a considerable effect on the overall appearance of the two models and on some of the major engine castings but did allow the Triumph to retain its own engine style. The Trident was part of Triumph's plan to extend the model range beyond their 650 cc parallel twins. Created to meet the demands of the US market the smooth 750 cc three-cylinder engine had less vibration than the existing 360° twins. Although BSA experienced serious financial difficulties 27 480 Rocket 3/Tridents were produced during its seven-year history. Industry and the Trident The British motorcycle industry of the 1960s was wrought with competition. The motorcycle audience of this period was changing and with them came a new idea of what the motorcycle should be and how it should look. Most British companies continued to make bikes based on pre-war design but these models did not interest this new generation. Compounding this problem was the rise in sales of Japanese made motorcycles into US/UK markets. Less expensive than domestic machines they were more reliable and showed more innovation and engineering than their British counterparts. The Trident exemplifies this dilemma as even though it was introduced in the summer of 1968 to critical acclaim its success was short-lived. The Honda CB750 was released shortly thereafter and quickly came to dominate the market.

It was used to depict the idea of ""energy obesity"" overconsumption of energy that is characteristic to our culture. The painting was placed in the context of the rebound theory in efficiency and energy conservation. The artist was provided with following instructions: A work of art; portrait 3' x 6'; to be exhibited at the Canada Science and Technology Museum from June 9 2011 to 2017. The Museum will have the full ownership of the art work. The artist will be credited in tombstone data. No frame necessary. The art work will depict ideas of: - Energy obesity - Overconsumption - Lifestyle based on energy onsumption The idea is based on a book: The end of energy obesity by P. Tertzakian. Quoting from the author’s web site (http://www.endofenergyobesity.com): ""Like cheap junk food long term availability of cheap energy has allowed industrialized countries especially the United States and Canada to become accustomed to a lifestyle of overconsumption."" From our gas-guzzling SUV’s and bigger houses to ever longer commutes and more distant vacations – we consume energy like there is no end. (…) Tertzakian’s book describes the complex forces reshaping the way we think about energy – new applications for our current energy- consuming technology; new developments in the use of fossil fuels; new consumer technologies and new ways of living playing and working that can reduce our energy appetite without compromising well being."" General suggestions: - Target audience for the exhibit is families with children 10 years old + - Company logos and brand names should not appear in visual material - Stress is on energy consumption not on only electricity consumption; if possible please include visual references to objects that consume oil and natural gas",To represent perceptions on energy consumption.,"Taken from acquisition worksheet; reference #1: As described by the artist: ""The painting will illustrate a figure seated at the table digging into the huge mountain of his 'energy feast'. The idea is to make the focus of the painting the gigantic bowl (the 'energy feast') consisting of different objects related to energy-consumption. It will have areas of highly rendered objects and machines and other areas that are more ambiguous. There will be cords spilling out of the bowl almost looking like spaghetti noodles at first glance. There will also be a gas pump in the feast which is leaking gas all over the table and spilling onto the floor. Overall the image will look chaotic and wonderful! I think it should easily get the point across in a fun and interesting way. I plan to follow the sketches loosely- adding and subtracting objects as I see fit for overall balance in the composition. The items in the feast will be glowing with electricity leaking oil and sputtering out fumes. It will make for a lively image with endless little pockets of detail to keep the viewer's attention (including the curious little eyes of children). I'm hoping to capture their imagination as well as their parents' and create something visually-pleasing that speaks volumes about our frivolous use of energy. It should reek of sarcasm. Every viewer should spot many items in the piece that represent their own daily use of energy and perhaps make them consider their own 'energy appetite'.""",Energy-electric,Commemorative,Art,,,,,,,fibre->canvas;wood,1.23 M,104,4.5,,,,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0049.001.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0049.001.aa.cs.thumb.png, 107583,2015.0048.003,Cover,Synthetic,,,Sensus,Unknown,,,2006,,,,3,Black moulded synthetic.,This type of meters used by Enbridge in Canada.,To measure volume of natural gas delivered to home.,This type of meter comes with a “Read One Pro” device that allows the meter to be read from a distance.,Metrology,Volume,,,,,,,,synthetic,,,1.8,,,4.9 cm,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0048.003.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0048.003.aa.cs.thumb.png, 107582,2015.0048.002,Cover,Synthetic,,,Sensus,Unknown,,,2006,,,,3,Black moulded synthetic.,This type of meters used by Enbridge in Canada.,To measure volume of natural gas delivered to home.,This type of meter comes with a “Read One Pro” device that allows the meter to be read from a distance.,Metrology,Volume,,,,,,,,synthetic,,,1.6,,,5.1 cm,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0048.002.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0048.002.aa.cs.thumb.png, 107581,2015.0048.001,Meter gas volume,Synthetic body with metal interior parts.,MR-8,14422082,Sensus,Unknown,,,2006,,,U.S. and Canadian patents,3,Grey moulded synthetic body with clear moulded synthetic cover over display panel.

In the 1910s and 1920s motor camping was largely a pastime for the rich - who could afford to have large well-equipped trailers custom-built for their outings - or for the adventurous - who didn’t mind sleeping in tents or in the backs of their cars. Ford’s introduction of the model T and the rapid increase in car ownership helped to foster support for road-building across North America and also created new opportunities for and interest in automobile camping. Automobile companies carriage makers and home-handymen took advantage of these opportunities by developing a variety of what we would now call recreational vehicles for the emerging market. The earliest models were mainly of two types: systems in which the car body was used to support a framework for a tent and motor homes built on a car or truck chassis (like the Nash motor home). Many of these vehicles were home-made and others were custom-built. There does not seem to have been enough demand to support RV manufacturing as a separate enterprise until after the Second World War. The Brantford trailer fits neatly into this general narrative. The maker of the trailer was Fred W. Knechtel a wood-worker from Kitchener whose first documented foray into the trailer business was as an amateur. In 1932 he entered a contest sponsored by Popular Science Monthly to design and build an auto camping trailer. His house trailer finished second to a collapsible trailer. Soon after he formed his own small manufacturing company to build trailers. In 1936 Mr Knechtel sold his company to Canada Carriage & Body Company Limited of Brantford. Formed in 1924 Canada Carriage was a conglomerate of carriage and other equipment makers (dating back to 1863) who had managed to survive the disappearance of the carriage market in the early 20th century. The company had prospered by catering to the market for truck bodies. Beginning around 1930 though truck makers started to build their bodies in-house. Canada Carriage & Body shifted its emphasis to specialized truck bodies and equipment but in the midst of the great depression also went looking for other products to diversify their offerings. They began building bus bodies to meet specialized Canadian needs steel vaults ambulances and house trailers. It seems that the company only manufactured these products for a short period of time. In 1939 the firm re-tooled for war production and after the war returned to its main business of specialized truck bodies and systems. It is not clear how many house trailers the company built (or how many Mr. Knechtel built before joining the company) but Mr. Knechtel stayed on as factory manager until 1958. The company remained in business as Trailmobile Canada and continued to manufacture equipment for the trucking industry in Brantford until 1990 and Ingersoll until 1993. This trailer though is not just a product of an interesting and long-lived Canadian manufacturing enterprise. It also represents the rise of automobility in Canada. Purchased by a prosperous middle-class family in Montreal the Brantford symbolizes both the rise of the automobile as a means of independent long distance transport and the early development of motor tourism in Canada. Though Canada lagged behind the US in road and supporting infrastructure development this trailer demonstrates that motor tourism was sufficiently established in Canada in the 1930s to support a small manufacturing enterprise (that clearly marketed its products beyond the local region) and to allow a family to set out on their own to enjoy the pleasures of Canada’s natural environment. [Ref. 1],A tow-able trailer equipped with living space and amenities. This trailer is intended for leisure activities such as vacationing and camping.,The Brantford trailer is a good example of the specialized design and construction techniques used to build recreational vehicles. As the photographs show the handsome woodwork conceals a variety ingenious spaces and structures that provide many of the conveniences of home in a compact environment. Given the materials and tools available in the 1930s this kind of design demanded a high level of craftsmanship and skill to achieve. The trailer also uses an interesting and innovative brake design. Early trailers did not always have independent brakes. As makers started to introduce larger and heavier house trailers brakes became more critical. More research is required to determine whether the brakes were a standard feature or not.

Governments have an interest in insuring safe and efficient marine transportation which includes the proper training of mariners in the arts of ship-handling and navigation. In 1850 concerned about high rates of loss at sea and the negative impression this might give of the competency of British mariners the British government passed the Mercantile Marine Act. It was the first in a series of laws that established increasingly stringent requirements for masters and mates of ships involved in international trade. After confederation the Canadian government took over responsibility for marine matters including licensing of masters and mates. British officials agreed to accept Canadian certificates as long as ""the Board of Trade was satisfied that examinations met the appropriate standards."" To insure that Canadian mariners would meet the Board standards the Department of Marine and Fisheries granted subsidies to instructors in Halifax Saint John and Quebec to prepare Canadians for the examinations. One of the many things that a mariner had to be able to do in order to obtain a master’s certificate was answer questions about ""the nature of the attraction of the ship’s iron upon the compass"" and how to determine it. (Canada Annual Report of the Department of Marine and Fisheries for the year ending the 30th of June 1872 (Ottawa: Government of Canada 1873) 264.) Teaching mariners about magnetism was a challenge not the least because its effects on the compass were imperfectly understood until well into the second half of the 19th century. Also it is an invisible force which presents itself in so many different guises and can change as the location of the vessel changes. The deviascope provided a practical teaching aid that helped to make an abstract concept concrete by allowing students to simulate various scenarios of magnetically induced compass error and to find ways to correct it. As the principal examiner of Masters and Mates at the British Board of Trade Captain Beall was uniquely placed to see the need for such a teaching aid and the one he produced in 1886 was immediately embraced by the marine training community around the world. Instructors and experts produced manuals and textbooks to go with the deviascope – we have examples from 1943 and 1970 though they apparently go back as far as 1886 – and instrument makers created their own versions of the device. This particular deviascope was made in London by Henry Hughes & Son and dates from about 1912. The current owner purchased it from the Montreal firm of Harrison and Company in 1978. The Harrisons were makers and re-sellers of scientific marine and surveying instruments from 1910 until that time. International and Canadian regulations still require ships to carry magnetic compasses and apply strict technical standards their construction placement and use. Masters and chief mates therefore still need to learn about magnetism the application of magnetic variation and deviation and the principles of the magnetic compass in order to meet what are known as the Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers (STCW) established by the International Maritime Organization. Instrument makers are still producing deviascopes and they are still being used to instruct students on the proper adjustment of the magnetic compass.

It became especially important in the age of exploration as mariners ventured far from familiar shores and waters. Increased dependence on the compass though revealed some puzzling anomalies in its behaviour. Magnetic variation is the difference between the geographic and magnetic north poles and caused serious navigational problems as mariners ventured further to the north. Magnetic deviation describes an array of compass errors caused by a ship’s own residual magnetism. By 1701 when Edmund Halley produced the first chart showing lines of equal variation (isogonic lines)(Peter Kemp (ed.) The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea (Oxford: Oxford University Press 1979)244 908.) mariners had the tools and expertise they needed to adjust for this compass error. Deviation proved to be a much less tractable problem. Any ship that contains iron (and only some of the very earliest ones do not) has residual magnetism. In wooden sailing ships iron parts like nails bolts spindles anchors stanchions and chains became magnetized by the Earth’s magnetic field and caused the compass needle to deviate from magnetic north. As early as 1803 Matthew Flinders demonstrated some of the characteristics of this deviation and also showed how to neutralize it by placing unmagnetized iron rods vertically near the compass. These became known (and are still known) as Flinders’ bars. (Kemp 189.) Other researchers however soon discovered that the effects of magnetic forces generated by the iron components of ships were more complicated and pernicious than Flinders had imagined. For example William Scoresby the son of a whaling ship captain found that when sailing in high latitudes deviation increased. He deduced that this was ""due to the combination of two magnetic forces: the vertical and the horizontal."" The vertical draw of the magnetic north pole increased as the ship moved closer to the pole. This increased the power of the ship’s iron parts many of which were vertical in orientation while weakening the horizontal component of the Earth’s field which lessened ""the directive force of the magnetic pole on the compass needle."" (Alan Gurney Compass A Story of Exploration and Innovation (New York: W.W. Norton & Company 2004) 180-1.) As shipbuilders began to build vessels with iron hulls the problem of deviation became even more pronounced so much so that some suggested that iron ships would never be safe enough to be commercially successful. (Kemp 189.) Indeed from the 1830s until the 1870s there were many high profile accidents blamed on course errors caused by deviation. Nevertheless ship builders continued to build in iron and steel and practical experience along with concerted research and testing gradually produced a clearer understanding of ""the hydra-headed monster.""

Specific: Bars made to be inserted into the radial grooves on the deviascope's deck.,"The magnetic compass had since ancient times been the best tool for establishing direction at sea. It became especially important in the age of exploration as mariners ventured far from familiar shores and waters. Increased dependence on the compass though revealed some puzzling anomalies in its behaviour. Magnetic variation is the difference between the geographic and magnetic north poles and caused serious navigational problems as mariners ventured further to the north. Magnetic deviation describes an array of compass errors caused by a ship’s own residual magnetism. By 1701 when Edmund Halley produced the first chart showing lines of equal variation (isogonic lines)(Peter Kemp (ed.) The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea (Oxford: Oxford University Press 1979)244 908.) mariners had the tools and expertise they needed to adjust for this compass error. Deviation proved to be a much less tractable problem. Any ship that contains iron (and only some of the very earliest ones do not) has residual magnetism. In wooden sailing ships iron parts like nails bolts spindles anchors stanchions and chains became magnetized by the Earth’s magnetic field and caused the compass needle to deviate from magnetic north. As early as 1803 Matthew Flinders demonstrated some of the characteristics of this deviation and also showed how to neutralize it by placing unmagnetized iron rods vertically near the compass. These became known (and are still known) as Flinders’ bars. (Kemp 189.) Other researchers however soon discovered that the effects of magnetic forces generated by the iron components of ships were more complicated and pernicious than Flinders had imagined. For example William Scoresby the son of a whaling ship captain found that when sailing in high latitudes deviation increased. He deduced that this was ""due to the combination of two magnetic forces: the vertical and the horizontal."" The vertical draw of the magnetic north pole increased as the ship moved closer to the pole. This increased the power of the ship’s iron parts many of which were vertical in orientation while weakening the horizontal component of the Earth’s field which lessened ""the directive force of the magnetic pole on the compass needle."" (Alan Gurney Compass A Story of Exploration and Innovation (New York: W.W. Norton & Company 2004) 180-1.) As shipbuilders began to build vessels with iron hulls the problem of deviation became even more pronounced so much so that some suggested that iron ships would never be safe enough to be commercially successful. (Kemp 189.) Indeed from the 1830s until the 1870s there were many high profile accidents blamed on course errors caused by deviation. Nevertheless ship builders continued to build in iron and steel and practical experience along with concerted research and testing gradually produced a clearer understanding of ""the hydra-headed monster.""

Deviation proved to be a much less tractable problem. Any ship that contains iron (and only some of the very earliest ones do not) has residual magnetism. In wooden sailing ships iron parts like nails bolts spindles anchors stanchions and chains became magnetized by the Earth’s magnetic field and caused the compass needle to deviate from magnetic north. As early as 1803 Matthew Flinders demonstrated some of the characteristics of this deviation and also showed how to neutralize it by placing unmagnetized iron rods vertically near the compass. These became known (and are still known) as Flinders’ bars. (Kemp 189.) Other researchers however soon discovered that the effects of magnetic forces generated by the iron components of ships were more complicated and pernicious than Flinders had imagined. For example William Scoresby the son of a whaling ship captain found that when sailing in high latitudes deviation increased. He deduced that this was ""due to the combination of two magnetic forces: the vertical and the horizontal."" The vertical draw of the magnetic north pole increased as the ship moved closer to the pole. This increased the power of the ship’s iron parts many of which were vertical in orientation while weakening the horizontal component of the Earth’s field which lessened ""the directive force of the magnetic pole on the compass needle."" (Alan Gurney Compass A Story of Exploration and Innovation (New York: W.W. Norton & Company 2004) 180-1.) As shipbuilders began to build vessels with iron hulls the problem of deviation became even more pronounced so much so that some suggested that iron ships would never be safe enough to be commercially successful. (Kemp 189.) Indeed from the 1830s until the 1870s there were many high profile accidents blamed on course errors caused by deviation. Nevertheless ship builders continued to build in iron and steel and practical experience along with concerted research and testing gradually produced a clearer understanding of ""the hydra-headed monster.""

He deduced that this was ""due to the combination of two magnetic forces: the vertical and the horizontal."" The vertical draw of the magnetic north pole increased as the ship moved closer to the pole. This increased the power of the ship’s iron parts many of which were vertical in orientation while weakening the horizontal component of the Earth’s field which lessened ""the directive force of the magnetic pole on the compass needle.""

Teaching mariners about magnetism was a challenge not the least because its effects on the compass were imperfectly understood until well into the second half of the 19th century. Also it is an invisible force which presents itself in so many different guises and can change as the location of the vessel changes. The deviascope provided a practical teaching aid that helped to make an abstract concept concrete by allowing students to simulate various scenarios of magnetically induced compass error and to find ways to correct it.

Specific: Measuring apparatus used for marine navigation.,"The magnetic compass had since ancient times been the best tool for establishing direction at sea. It became especially important in the age of exploration as mariners ventured far from familiar shores and waters. Increased dependence on the compass though revealed some puzzling anomalies in its behaviour. Magnetic variation is the difference between the geographic and magnetic north poles and caused serious navigational problems as mariners ventured further to the north. Magnetic deviation describes an array of compass errors caused by a ship’s own residual magnetism. By 1701 when Edmund Halley produced the first chart showing lines of equal variation (isogonic lines)(Peter Kemp (ed.) The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea (Oxford: Oxford University Press 1979)244 908.)) mariners had the tools and expertise they needed to adjust for this compass error. Deviation proved to be a much less tractable problem. Any ship that contains iron (and only some of the very earliest ones do not) has residual magnetism. In wooden sailing ships iron parts like nails bolts spindles anchors stanchions and chains became magnetized by the Earth’s magnetic field and caused the compass needle to deviate from magnetic north. As early as 1803 Matthew Flinders demonstrated some of the characteristics of this deviation and also showed how to neutralize it by placing unmagnetized iron rods vertically near the compass. These became known (and are still known) as Flinders’ bars. (Kemp 189.) Other researchers however soon discovered that the effects of magnetic forces generated by the iron components of ships were more complicated and pernicious than Flinders had imagined. For example William Scoresby the son of a whaling ship captain found that when sailing in high latitudes deviation increased. He deduced that this was ""due to the combination of two magnetic forces: the vertical and the horizontal."" The vertical draw of the magnetic north pole increased as the ship moved closer to the pole. This increased the power of the ship’s iron parts many of which were vertical in orientation while weakening the horizontal component of the Earth’s field which lessened ""the directive force of the magnetic pole on the compass needle."" (Alan Gurney Compass A Story of Exploration and Innovation (New York: W.W. Norton & Company 2004) 180-1.) As shipbuilders began to build vessels with iron hulls the problem of deviation became even more pronounced so much so that some suggested that iron ships would never be safe enough to be commercially successful. (Kemp 189.) Indeed from the 1830s until the 1870s there were many high profile accidents blamed on course errors caused by deviation.

They were only made under the Snorunner name from 1979 to 1980. after that another company took over production and called the vehicle the Sno-Rabbit. Chrysler sold the Sno-Runners for three years. In 1981 when Chrysler was in financial trouble production was ended for good. The remaining stock was liquidated by COMB liquidators who changed the name to Sno-Rabbit by putting a Sno-Rabbit sticker right over the Sno-Runner sticker.

Many of the machines built for the race did not look much like conventional snowmobiles; one was a dragster with a track replacing the rear wheels.,Recreational snowmobiling and snowmobile racing,"Featherweight Corporation initiated the project of building a speed trial snowmobile and recruited George Barris the custom vehicle designer who created the bat mobile to design the body. They built the body around two standard Alouette chassis and four Kholer 3 cylinder engines. In the end Big Al did not take part in the race which was won by Bombardier SkiDoo clocked at 129.2mph. ""The 1971 Big Al was not a production line vehicle but one of the extravagant and short-lived machines built by manufacturers to promote their company through rapid-acceleration competitions. Unlike other extravagant vehicles the Big Al was made mostly of Featherweight production parts used in its regular snowmobiles. The Big Al snowmobile was designed to reach speeds of up to 300km/h. It never saw the racetrack however: it was released as the energy crisis hit knocking out snowmobile demand.

These vehicles which date from 1968-1993 represent a variety of themes in the history of the snowmobile in Canada. Couparral marketed the Sno-Pony as an economical alternative to the standard snowmobile. It was smaller and lighter and therefore made it more fuel-efficient. It was also more affordable than larger machines. At the same time it offered high performance - one advertisement noted a speed record of 114.57 mph - and nimble handling. Small enough to fit in the trunk of a car at that time (and light enough to lift) it did away with the need for a trailer. The company seems to have been trying to widen the appeal of snowmobiling by making it easier and more affordable to do.,Recreational snowmobiling and snowmobile racing,Small enough to fit into the trunk of a car the Sno Pony has a Chrysler Outboard Marine engine of 134 cc and weighs under 150 lbs.,Motorized Ground Transportation,Recreational vehicles,,,,,,,,metal->;resin->rubber;glass->fibreglass;synthetic->plexiglass;synthetic->plastic;synthetic->foam,190,75,90,,,,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0001.001.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2015.0001.001.aa.cs.thumb.png, 107488,2014.0321.008,Shelf refrigerator,Metal shelf,,,International Harvester Co.,United States of America,Illinois,Chicago,1953,,,,8,Silver coloured metal plate with rounded rectangular vents.,This refrigerator was purchased in Ottawa at the Modern Farm Supplies Limited on May 25 1953 by Norman and Rebecca McLeod for $305.

This distributor provides an interesting link between the farm equipment that was the main product line of International Harvester and domestic technologies manufactured by the company and promoted mostly to farmers. McLeods chose the model based on its price. They considered three IH refrigerators: a high-end L103 for $345 a 10.4 cubic feet model with a U-type freezer 11 gold-trimmed racks and a thermostat-controlled butter storage; L-84 $335 model with 8.5 cubic feet of storage space with a full 51-lb freezer 5 1\2 shelves and gold-trimmed egg rack; and only a slightly smaller 8.2 cubic feet L-82 for $305 with 35-lb freezer 6 shelves and a simpler interior finish. The couple used the refrigerator in their house at 454 Gladstone Avenue and 24 Brown Street in Ottawa. The refrigerator now in the basement is still plugged-in although it has not been used to store food for a while. Mrs. McLeod is moving to a residence and she decided to donate the fridge to the museum. It comes with trade literature and a sales receipt. (From Acquisitions Worsheet see Ref. 1),Used to prevent items placed on the glass shelf above the refrigerator drawer from falling down behind the drawer.,This fridge is an example of a post World War II horizontal diversification in the International Harvester’s product line. The company created in 1902 manufactured refrigerators and operated a refrigeration division since Nov. 25 1945 and produced appliances between 1947 and 1955. In 1955 the division was sold to Whirlpool Corporation. The company produced high quality appliances. Its refrigerators were designed to meet technological but also fashion requirements of a modern housewife. The IH refrigerators were “femineered” – an expression trademarked by IH – engineered especially for\by women. As Shelley Nickles noted in her excellent article “Preserving women… ” refrigerators underwent an extensively redesign in the late 1930s and the 1940s. Only slightly related to food preservation technologies the changes reflected the social function of the appliance: its central location in women’s lives. In the 1930s the “average customer” of the appliance was a prudent efficient and busy housewife. The aesthetic changes of the 1940s were implemented to attract a post-depression era modern women who valued function as well as style. The trade literature produced by the International Harvester refers to technical features of the refrigerators and the “fashion-firsts.” The IH 1950s appliances included 7-Climate Refrigeration and Decorator models. The 7-Climate Refrigeration referred to 7 different areas with specific temperature inside the refrigerator. Each temperature area was adapted for specific types of foods from “frozen foods” to “butter easy to spread.” The Decorator models allowed women to drape fabric over their fridges to match décor of any kitchen. Ann McDermit commented that her father would not hear about draping the fridge in a fabric and it remained in its original yellow finish. The femineered models came in white or yellow exterior and a spring-fresh green interior unusual for refrigerators. The shadowline styling of the door the shape of the freezer and the butter compartment rounded edges of chrome-plated shelves streamlined handle and the IH logo reflected modern fashion trends. The fridge featured a built into the door magnetized bottle opener that prevented caps from falling to the floor. Seven freezer settings included automatic push-button defrost vacation setting warmer than normal position to convert the freezer into another fridge compartment and summer and winter settings. Interestingly enough the trade literature also refers to the fact that the motor was oiled for life a feature that was standard since the 1940s but obviously was still on the customer’s mind. The refrigerator was endorsed by Irma Harding (IH) a character created by IH in 1947 to promote its refrigerators and freezers. Irma Harding was a perfect farm housewife. She was beautiful energetic smart and often described as “authentic” and “rural.” Irma became a household name among housewives on North American farms. She has been originally created by Haddon Sundblom who also designed the Coca Cola’s Santa. Ann Pharr posed for the painting. IH hired 5 home economists to answer “Irma’s” mail and test the refrigerators in a model kitchen set up in the plant in Evansville Indiana. The women worked with engineers to improve the design of appliances and came up with fabric used in advertisements. 70 more home economists traveled across the US and educate home makers on refrigeration. The women acted as spokespeople for the company but also often worked with salesmen’s wives to train them to promote IH. They were known as Irma Harding girls. Similar campaign was probably conducted in Canada there is however no research done on this topic. Irma Harding has been trademarked by Case IH and the name has been revitalized in 2013 to promote china and peanuts.

The IH refrigerators were “femineered” – an expression trademarked by IH – engineered especially for\by women. As Shelley Nickles noted in her excellent article “Preserving women… ” refrigerators underwent an extensively redesign in the late 1930s and the 1940s. Only slightly related to food preservation technologies the changes reflected the social function of the appliance: its central location in women’s lives. In the 1930s the “average customer” of the appliance was a prudent efficient and busy housewife. The aesthetic changes of the 1940s were implemented to attract a post-depression era modern women who valued function as well as style. The trade literature produced by the International Harvester refers to technical features of the refrigerators and the “fashion-firsts.” The IH 1950s appliances included 7-Climate Refrigeration and Decorator models. The 7-Climate Refrigeration referred to 7 different areas with specific temperature inside the refrigerator. Each temperature area was adapted for specific types of foods from “frozen foods” to “butter easy to spread.” The Decorator models allowed women to drape fabric over their fridges to match décor of any kitchen. Ann McDermit commented that her father would not hear about draping the fridge in a fabric and it remained in its original yellow finish. The femineered models came in white or yellow exterior and a spring-fresh green interior unusual for refrigerators. The shadowline styling of the door the shape of the freezer and the butter compartment rounded edges of chrome-plated shelves streamlined handle and the IH logo reflected modern fashion trends. The fridge featured a built into the door magnetized bottle opener that prevented caps from falling to the floor. Seven freezer settings included automatic push-button defrost vacation setting warmer than normal position to convert the freezer into another fridge compartment and summer and winter settings. Interestingly enough the trade literature also refers to the fact that the motor was oiled for life a feature that was standard since the 1940s but obviously was still on the customer’s mind. The refrigerator was endorsed by Irma Harding (IH) a character created by IH in 1947 to promote its refrigerators and freezers. Irma Harding was a perfect farm housewife. She was beautiful energetic smart and often described as “authentic” and “rural.” Irma became a household name among housewives on North American farms. She has been originally created by Haddon Sundblom who also designed the Coca Cola’s Santa. Ann Pharr posed for the painting. IH hired 5 home economists to answer “Irma’s” mail and test the refrigerators in a model kitchen set up in the plant in Evansville Indiana. The women worked with engineers to improve the design of appliances and came up with fabric used in advertisements. 70 more home economists traveled across the US and educate home makers on refrigeration. The women acted as spokespeople for the company but also often worked with salesmen’s wives to train them to promote IH. They were known as Irma Harding girls. Similar campaign was probably conducted in Canada there is however no research done on this topic. Irma Harding has been trademarked by Case IH and the name has been revitalized in 2013 to promote china and peanuts.

The Gem/ jars are manufactured since the end of the 19th century. In 1993 the Bernardin compant joined with Ball company the leader in mason jars manufacturing to form the Alltrista Cirooratopm nowJarden Corporation. The manufacturing ceased in 2001 and moved to US except for the lids who at the request of Canadian consuers are still being made in Canada for the Gem model. The Bernardin brand jas are for the Canadian market. Truck model was produced as a commemorative object to celelbrate the 100 anniversary of the first perfect Mason Jar in 1913 made by the Ball company. Blue jars wre also produced that year for the consumer karket as part of this commemoration which we have a few examples in the collection.

In 2013 the one hundredth anniversary of the Perfect Mason "" we honored the Ball brothers in beginning the Heritage Collection"": vintage blue jars. ( http://www.nyfoodmuseum.org/_ptime.htm) - 1858: John Mason tinsmith from New York city designed and patented the first Mason jar. Made out of heavier weight glass than normal jars these were developed to withstand the high temperatures necessary for processing pickles. He invented a machine that could cut threads into lids which made it practical to manufacture a jar with a reusable screw-on lid. This was the difference between his design and predecessors the sealing mechanism: a glass container with a thread molded into its top and a zinc lid with a rubber ring. The rubber created the seal and the threaded lid maintained it. The jar included his patent: ""Mason’s Patent November 30th. 1858."" When the patent expired in 1879 manufacturers of such jars continued to use the term “Mason” on their product. Lucius Styles Ball who started the Ball Brothers Company in the early 1890s was one such inventor. Alfred Bernardin invented the first metal tops to be used in commerical canning in 1881. These two companies Ball and Bernardin joined forces as recently as 1993 to form the Alltrista Corporation (now Jarden Corp) is the largest producer of Mason jars today. Since 1993. the Corporation has been manufacturing the Ball glass canning jars.

It was developed by a Canadian Dr Joe MacInnis with assistance from engineer Douglas Elsey. Dr. MacInnis is a specialist in the study of the physiological and psychological effects of undersea environments on humans. He graduated in medicine from the University of Toronto in 1962. He received a fellowship to study diving medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. This led him to other diving research projects in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Douglas Elsey is a professional engineer undersea explorer and photographer. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s many researchers were studying the problems posed by working under water. These studies brought together experts in marine biology oil exploration engineering and medicine among other fields. Medical researchers like Dr. MacInnis were interested in how the human body copes with underwater environments and how it recovers after long or deep dives. All of these researchers though were concerned with finding ways of making underwater work of all kinds safer and more efficient. Some researchers explored techniques to prolong diving times including developing saturation diving techniques and decompression tables. Others designed submersible vehicles that could either carry humans down into the ocean depths or could work remotely. Underwater stations and habitats were another way of extending human capabilities by providing temporary shelter from the water and its dangers. At the same time the Canadian government was increasingly interested in Arctic exploration and development at least in part as a means to establish Canada’s sovereignty over the high arctic and its waters. It was in this context that Dr. MacInnis created Sublimnos Canada’s first underwater manned station in 1969. Then from 1970 until 1974 he led four scientific diving expeditions to Resolute Bay 600 miles north of the Arctic Circle. In 1971 he conceived the world’s first polar dive station Sub-Igloo which was established under the ice in 1972 during the Arctic III expedition. According to Dr MacInnis this “expedition was one of a series of expeditions supported by the Canadian government to study systems and techniques that would allow divers to work in the near-freezing water under the polar ice cap. The expeditions were a response to the government’s concern about Arctic sovereignty after the voyage of the USS Manhattan.” (1969). Dr MacInnis had a telephone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau while he was inside Sub-Igloo through the new Anik 1 satellite. (see photo in National Geographic article on O:/drive and also NFB film on Sub-Igloo) The research team also studied the marine life and geology of the area during this expedition. In 1974 Dr. McInnnis led the first team of diving scientists to the North Pole during the Arctic IV expedition and again Sub-Igloo was used along with S.P.I.D. a diving habitat. During this expedition scientists carried out fifteen different research projects with the goal of developing systems and techniques to dive safely under the polar ice pack to study marine life and to analyze the effects of pollution. One of these projects was the first dive in Arctic waters using an oxygen-helium mix at 220 feet. In 1984 Dr. MacInnis loaned Sub-Igloo to the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration most probably to study diving air and nitrogen-oxygen saturation and decompression off Grand Bahamas Island for the NOAA-Score undersea project. Finally in 1985 it was loaned to Disney for Epcot Center in Orlando. It remained in the Living Seas pavilion until 2007 and was a major attraction there. Apart from his accomplishments linked with Sub-Igloo and polar diving Dr. MacInnis is also very well known for leading the team that discovered the world’s northernmost shipwreck HMS Breadalbane under the ice in Canada’s Northwest Passage. He also was an advisor to the Titanic discovery team and “the first Canadian to explore the world’s most famous shipwreck. In 1991 he was co-leader of the most daring deep diving project ever conducted a seven million dollar expedition to film Titanic in the IMAX Format.”,To provide divers in Arctic waters with a refuge from the cold water and allow them to rest communicate and observe the marine environment and other divers.,Taken from the Acquisition proposal: Between 1945 and 1980 researchers made dramatic advances in underwater mobility. They explored everything from the design and development of scuba gear and submersibles to the behaviour of the human body in high pressure environments. The goal of most of this research was to make it possible for humans to work more effectively and safely under water. Canadian researchers played an important role in many of these developments and the Sub-Igloo is evidence of their work. According to the historical assessment on underwater mobility the Sub-Igloo was part of series of experiments that grew out of research on saturation diving. If divers could stay under water longer they would only have to go through the decompression process once. But to keep divers underwater longer required the development of underwater stations and habitats where they could rest and eat before returning to the water. Though many of these projects were much more elaborate than Sub-Igloo – Man-in-Sea II and Sealab I – none of them were specifically designed for use in cold water diving. There the requirement for respite was urgent even on short and shallow dives as the temperature of the water quickly numbed hands making it impossible to work effectively. Sub-Igloo was a prototype and as such was not without its problems. For example the team was concerned about how the plastic would behave in arctic waters and whether the seal at the equator would hold once the air was pumped into the sphere. Transporting the dome was a challenge because the material was sensitive to changes in temperature and exposure to temperatures of less than -1.5C. Either scenario would make it susceptible to shattering. Also with the immense pressure on the dome once submerged something as small as a dropped tool belt might cause it to shatter. Even though no heavy lifting equipment was needed to handle the Sub-Igloo the ballast system that kept it anchored to the ocean floor during the 1972 expedition was awkward and labour intensive requiring the deployment of 8 tons of iron pigs. In spite of these problems the researchers felt that Sub-Igloo was a very important contribution to the progress of underwater mobility in the arctic. According to Doug Elsey: The successful deployment of the station SUBIGLOO under the arctic ice its use as a refuge and work station as well as its potential for underwater observation suggests that such systems are feasible and useful in polar diving. It is highly likely that such underwater stations can be an important tool to extend man’s reach into ice-covered northern waters.,Marine Transportation,Diving,,,,,,,,metal->;metal->aluminum;synthetic->plexiglass,,,,,2000 lbs,,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2014.0305.001.aa.cs.png,http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2014.0305.001.aa.cs.thumb.png, 107464,2014.0304.001,Satellite model,Aluminum (possible) body aluminum solar panels and arms synthetic parts and attachments,Anik B,,Unknown,Unknown,,,,,,,1,Predominantly silver coloured model with blue and silver coloured solar panels and circular gold coloured parts on the proper front and proper back.,Formed in 1969 the Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) is a government-run wireless technologies research and development laboratory near Shirleys Bay with origins dating back to WWII. Initially operating under the Department of Communications (1969-1994) and then Industry Canada (1994-present) CRC research and development activities also include the support of governmental telecommunications operations as well as technology incubation and transfer to Canadian industry. The creation of the CRC however dates back to Section 6 of the Operational Intelligence Centre (OIC-6) Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and formation of the Radio Propagation Laboratory (RPL) in 1944. The RPL was established as a request from the RCN to help in its campaign against German submarine warfare on Allied shipping. Early RPL work focused on auroral disturbances and the application of ionospheric data for communications detection and direction finding in the HF band . Much of this work was located off Prescott Highway outside Ottawa as well as a surplus RCN signal station at the Experimental Farm. The early RPL consisted of scientists Frank T. Davies C.W. Scott and J.H. Meek regarded by The Friends of CRC as the founding fathers of the DRTE. Radio physicists from the RPL were also posted at the University of Saskatchewan and Resolute Bay where they worked on ionospheric and geomagnetic problems related to auroral disturbances . With demobilization after the war effort the RPL became part of the Defence Research Board (DRB) in 1947 and renamed the Radio Physics Lab in 1951. Together with the Defence Research Electronics Laboratory and the Army's Canadian Signals Research and Development Establishment (located at Rockliffe and then moved to the NRC on Montreal road) the RPL amalgamated to become the Defence Research Telecommunications Establishment (DRTE) in 1951. Frank T. Davies became the first Chief Superintendent leading DRTE research on atmospheric physics radio prediction ionospheric and microwave propagation transistor technology radio warfare navigation and radar to name a few. In 1952 DRTE was moved to the Shirleys Bay campus where there was room for large antenna installations and expansion which occurred in several phases over the next four decades . Today the Shirleys Bay campus is occupied by several governmental agencies such as the Canadian Space Agency and David Florida Laboratory the Certification and Engineering Bureau and the Canadian Forces Electronic Warfare Centre. Two of DRTE most significant contributions to telecommunications and Canada’s leap into space was Alouette a top sounding ionospheric research satellite launched in 1962 and the Chapman Report (1967) which recommended the creation of a Canadian domestic communications satellite program. The later is what largely influenced the Canadian government to create Telesat Canada and the Department of Communications in 1969 and to rename its research branch from DRTE to the Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC). In 1989 the Canadian Space Agency was created.
