93764 93764 2004.0727.015 Transfer paper Door Control   Tearne & Sons England   Birmingham         27 yellow with black lettering An item from the collection of Andrew Audubon Merrilees a noted Canadian collector of railwayana. In the mid 1960s Mr. Merrilees learned that the British company Tearne and Sons was melting old decals to recover gold and silver used during their production. He purchased some of the remaining collection The Merrilees collection consists of 895 designs of transfers and 5803 individual decals in their original paper form including examples of letters numbers and ornaments as well as coats of arms trade marks monograms and other images used mostly on railway stock in Great Britain Canada and on colonial railways worldwide. The majority of Mr.Merrilees collection was sent to the National Archives circa 1980 his printed material to the National Library and the Ontario Archives. The material in this donation was retained by Andrew Merrilees Ltd. currently owned by Dr. Robert Stewart. (Acquisition proposal for AK0114 archival material by D.Monaghan; Acquisition proposal for AK0114 transfers by A. Adamek; both in Supp. Info.) A folder containing representative examples of a form of decal used to label and decorate railway equipment ships industrial equipment and other items instead of hand painting. An example of an industrial transfer. The lithographic transfer technique was invented ca. 1756 by John Sadler and Guy Green well-known printers and engravers working for Josiah Wedgewood. By 1770 the decalcomania brought down the price of pottery decoration from ¬£2 per piece to 20 pence. The technique spread form England to Sweden Germany France and North America. In Germany the transfers were used to imitate gold leaf on iron sewing machines and wood clocks and soon they were applied to household appliances coaches railway cars and industrial machinery around the world. By 1880 decalcomania had become one of the most common methods of ornamentation of technological artifacts. The Merrilees collection contains examples of patterns and master designs which illustrate the first steps in the lithographic production as well as samples of all types of decal paper colours and transferring techniques available at the turn of the last century. The transfers represent the vanished phase of decorative arts that originated in the Victoriana extrinsic ornamentation and carried on well into the first decades of the 20th century. Tearne & Sons Ltd. was established by Samuel Tearne in 1856. Located in the famous Birmingham Jewellery Quarter it mainly manufactured jewellery boxes. With its experience in decorative arts and interest in the newest technologies the company started producing transfers for bicycles in the 1870s and by the end of the century it was the main manufacturer of railway transfer art in Great Britain. Tearne soon supplied decals to many major companies worldwide as well as municipalities and counties the Royal Household and the British armed forces. The company is still in existence under different ownership. (Acquisition proposal for AK0114 transfers by A. Adamek; Supp. Info.)

The automation was refined in the in the 1970s - early 1980s with automatic electronically controlled custom embroidered machines developed in Japan. Instead of the instructions being coded on a continuous reel of paper or Mylar(r) tape containing x-y coordinate information in Binary Fortran or other numeric code to control pantograph movement the information is now digitized on computer disks.

Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966) an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920 he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1] "L. Shuttleworth" stamped repeatedly into stock may refer to a local hardware merchandiser [Ref.1] or a previous owner of the plane. Used to secure cutting iron within plane body. Wedge for tongue plane used with a matching "groove" plane to cut tongue and groove edges on boards in order to join them together to form partitions table tops floors etc. [Ref.3] Industrial Technology Tools & equipment-trades Carpenter Industrial Technology Tools-Hand Parts & accessories       wood->birch - possible 2.8 1 16.2       http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2004.1628.002.aa.cs.png http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2004.1628.002.aa.cs.thumb.png

Part of a large and varied collection of over 7500 electrical items acquired and documented by Ontario Hydro in the1960s. The collection was thought to be the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in Canada and was donated to the National Museum of Science and Technology in 1992. An electrical wiring device used to provide a means of connecting electrical wires coming from the wiring system of a building into a single wire or cable wire; cleat rosettes were used specifically to support and conceal exposed wiring in indoor work. An example of a wood ceiling rosette of the late 19th century. During the late 1880s the wood cleat was replaced by the porcelain cleat and the solid porcelain insulator gradually gave way to the two-piece clamping style (like this one). In June 1913 Ontario Hydro wiring rules prohibited the use of wood moulding to cover conductors and limited the use of metal moulding to circuits of less than 1320 watts (Refs. 2-4).

99403 99403 2008.0032.008 Brace wood/ metal Hummer   Elgin Wind Power & Pump Co. United States of America Illinois Elgin 1918   circa   33 wood painted white/ red painted metal hardware Mr. Mott actively collected windmills after his retirement from Ontario Hydro in the mid 1970s. Before that he acquired windmills as he came across them in the course of his lineman duties in south central and southwestern Ontario. All parts to this catalogue number form a windmill. Sectional windmills were most commonly built of wood though models with metal sections were available as an option from some manufacturers (including Elgin Wind Power). The wheel sections of this wooden windmill fold open and closed. This means the sections pivot in and out to regulate the amount of their surface area that is exposed to the wind. The control on this activity to prevent the windmill from spinning out of control and breaking is affected through the use of a cast iron governing/counter weight. The easiest (and best) way to understand this process is to stand with your back to the wind and try opening and closing an umbrella. The combination of the tendency of the sections to swing into the wind and of the counter-weight's control over the opening and closing of the sections has the key effect of regulating the windmill's speed/action. Unlike a fixed vane windmill the wheel sections of vaneless windmills turn behind the derrick. Although by the turn of the century it was most common to use angle iron in the construction of windmill towers wooden Hummers were equipped with a wooden tower on which was mounted a maintenance platform. The edge of the platform (as is the instance with this example) was often equipped with decorative ironwork by the owner. Given the majority of the components of this style of windmill were made of wood of those examples currently in existence many ave had those parts replaced. Mr. Mott took great care to use the proper wood (cypress) and even went to the extent of using hand boring tools used in the windmill industry of the period to make holes for the iron bolts. He also took care to ensure his wooden windmills were kept painted to prevent the onset of rot.
