With the exception of the Wild A10 [few of which were used in Canada] this machine was the most sophisticated plotter available before digital technology. This machine was converted c. 1995-96 to digitize the motions (X Y & Z) with the addition of encoders and a control pad which interfaced to a computer.

Developed in 1966 by Dr. Harvey Richardson his design for this device became the standard and remains so. He was assisted by the engineering and technical staff at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) including: George Brealey ME (responsible for the jig used to position the mirror segments); Roy Dancey who did the bonding of the segments and with J. Miller made the optics (these were later made under contract by Applied Plastics Specialties Ltd. of Don Mills Ont.); and J.R. White (who was involved in the design of the mechanical parts). This image slicer was used in the f/1.4 camera on the spectrograph that was mounted on the 1.8 m (72 inch) reflecting telescope at DAO. Richardson through National Research Council (NRC) originally held the patent for the image slicers: these were later acquired by Scott Plastics in Sydney BC. They produced them for observatories around the world. (Ref. 1) Among his varied activities Dr. Richardson was a one-time federal New Democratic Party Candidate (c. 1970s). He operated EHR Associates in Victoria after his retirement and it was still functioning c. 2002. He also participated in the ODIN project which used a spacecraft to study the Earth's atmosphere. | Used to contain and protect contents when not in use: specifically an image slicer. | The first image slicer was developed in 1935 by Ira Bowen at the Mount Wilson Observatory. Originally designed for use in stellar spectroscopy design limitations in the Bowen-type image slicer limited it's use to solar spectroscopy. In 1966 Harvey Richardson an astronomer & instrument designer at Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) developed a new version which replaced the stacked flat mirror plates with 2 concave mirrors which are cut in half segmented and slightly separated (ie. separation adjustable). The first prototype completed in 1967 was a failure. but the problems of the alignment of the mirror segments was overcome. The image of a star from the telescope is focussed on the cylindrical lens the orientation of which is aligned with the grooves on the grating in the spectrograph. The light passes through a series of slits and is reflected off a series of mirrors. After passing through the final slit a field lens focuses the light onto the grooved surface of the grating which reflects the spectrum into the spectrograph camera. By reflecting the light off the mirror segments and using the mirrors to create the spectrograph slit very little light is lost by reflection of the usual polished slit jaws. This arrangement permitted a smaller grating to be used and therefore further efficiency is achieved. The success of the design means the Richardson image slicer is still used in most spectrographs used on large telescopes. In addition to those made for the 1.8 and 1.2 m telescope spectroscopes at DAO early examples were made for and tested on the 5 m (200 inch) Mt. Palomar Hale telescope the 1.8 m (74 inch) telescope of the David Dunlop Observatory(Toronto); the 2.2 m Leoncito Observatory telescope (Argentina) and the 6 m reflector in the USSR.

Au début elle produisait principalement des canots et petites embarcations et vint à se diversifier pour inclure des embarcations à moteur. En 1982 la firme s'incorpora et devint Cadorette Marine Corporation. En 1985 elle déménagea à Grand-Mère localité aussi située dans la Mauricie. Elle prit de l'expansion car le climat était très favorable pour les produits de luxe tels les bateaux jusqu'en 1989. L'industrie de plaisance au Canada était en effet en pleine effervescence. Les consommateurs achetaient des bateaux de plus en plus gros et les semi hors-bord devenaient plus populaires. Cadorette produisait 32 modèles différents de bateaux à moteur : yachts croiseurs runabouts bateaux de pêche en plus des canots et des chaloupes. Elle employait 300 travailleurs. En 1990 une récession et l'accord du libre-échange firent sombrer l'industrie canadienne des bateaux. Plusieurs firmes firent faillite. Cadorette Marine acheta les moules et la marque de la compagnie Thundercraft un compétiteur établi à Lachute au Québec. En 1992 elle acheta les moules et la marque de commerce de la firme Les Bateauz Doral Ltée aussi établie à Grand-Mère depuis 1972. Elle devenait ainsi le plus important fabricant canadien de bateaux de plaisance. En 1994 toutefois elle fit faillite à son tour et fut rachetée par la société Jeanneau Canada une filiale de la compagnie française Jeanneau. Elle devint connue sous le nom de Doral. En 1996 Erwin Zecha acheta Doral. Depuis la firme connaît la prospérité. [Ref. 2] | To protect storage compartment contents. | En 1956 Cadorette a été la première firme de bateaux de plaisance au Canada a utilisé la fibre de verre pour mouler les coques de ses bateaux.

The introduction of steam and steel also brought a demand for better equipment all of which required more precise instruments for measurement and line drawing as well as new visualisation tools. Plating model are one of the modern naval architecture tools and they largely replaced the wooden half hull models of the 18th century. The plating model may have been given to Mr. Douglas Hearnshaw upon completion of the actual vessel. [Ref. 1] | Used to plan and organise the metal plates required to form the vessel’s outer shell. | The CCGS Wolfe was a middle class Icebreaker built in Canada during the late 1950s. She was part of a series of middle class Icebreaker/Lighthouse and Buoy Tenders manufactured starting with the second CCGS Montcalm in 1957 and ending with the CCGS Sir Humphrey Gilbert (June) CCGS Camsell (October) CCGS Wolfe (November) in 195 . The first two ships were built by Davie Shipbuilding (Lauzon PQ); subsequent ships were built by the Burrard Dry Dock (Vancouver BC) and Canadian Vickers (Montreal PQ) respectively. All of the ships save the CCGS Sir Humphrey Gilbert were listed as scrapped in 1989 and the CCGS Wolfe is listed as being retired in 1986.

Mr. Hearnshaw immigrated to Canada from England in 1951 during what could be called a ¬ìGolden Period¬î of Canadian shipbuilding. During that time the Canadian naval manufacture labour force increased by 13 500 people largely fuelled by new naval and government contracts. Two publications of the Canadian Naval Technical History Association ¬ìThe Story of the DDH 280 Program¬î and the ¬ìShipyards of the Canadian Naval Shipbuilding Program 1939-2000¬î indicate that Mr. Hearnshaw was employed as a naval architect at Canadian Vickers in Montreal in the 1950s. The M/V Cygnus plating model represents the second of three vessels to bear that name in the Canadian Coast Guard. The first was a converted world war two Bangor class minesweeper. The plating model of this class (1978.0277) is already in the collection. The first Cygnus was originally named the HMCS Melville and was built by Davie Shipbuilding (Lauzon Quebec) in 1940-41. The Melville was transferred to the Department of Fisheries in 1945 where she was renamed the M.V. Cygnus. The first Cygnus was scrapped in 1961 just after the second Cygnus (plating model) was built in 1959 at the Canadian Vickers dry-dock in Montreal. The second Cygnus was commissioned as a Fisheries patrol vessel as a part of the of the planned expansion Canadian territorial seawaters from 3 to 12 miles in July of 1964. Rather than being a converted vessel the second Cygnus was purpose-built for costal fisheries patrols. The second Cygnus was retired sometime in the early 1980s but not before its basic design was used as the basis for a new series of Department of Fisheries patrol vessels which included the Cape Freels the Chebucto the Tanu the Cape Roger and the third Cygnus. The later vessels were used to enforce Canada¬ís larger territorial water claims as well as the larger 200 mile economic zone established in 1977. The third Cygnus was one of the ships involved in watching the S… | Used to plan and organise the metal plates required to form the vessel¬ís outer shell. | Marine Transportation | Models | Design tool | wood;metal | 108.8 | 24.5 | 13 | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2012.0002.001.aa.cs.png | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2012.0002.001.aa.cs.thumb.png | ||||||||||||||

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.

Built in 1925 by the Victoria Lumber & Mfg. Co. Mill No. 4 was bought c. 1944 by H.R. MacMillan and operated as a MacMillan business (becoming after 1951 MacMillan Bloedel) until 1982 when it was closed and dismantled. In 1984 a new and modern mill was built in Chemainus: as of 2001 it was still in operation. In social and economic terms. Mill No. 4 represents the apex of industrial development in Chemainus in a sector of paramount importance to both the community and the province. Maximum production was 1 million board feet of lumber over a 24-hr period with three continuous shifts employing a total 1000 people. (The current mill employs 150 people and processes about 450 000 board feet a day) Mill No. 4 was also a part of an industrial continuum with roots dating back to the pioneer period of settlement on Vancouver Island. (Ref. 1) | Used to manipulate a log by pushing and/or pulling it. Specifically this picaroon used to handle cut lumber one piece at a time. | Picaroons (also called Hookaroons) are used by loggers mill workers carpenters rail workers and other trade workers. Picaroons simplify moving logs and other large timbers by hand; they have a number of other uses including removing debris from hazardous locations. Picaroons appear to have been widely used at the Chemainus mill. One page of the 24 page "Employee Information Handbook" advises users how to safely handle a picaroon. The tool appears frequently in photos of workers at MB's Chemainus mill. (ref. 3) This picaroon was made in the Blacksmith's Shop at Chemainus and was one of the last handmade items produced there. Picaroons were used (with pike poles) throughout the mill to clear lumber jams or just to "pull lumber" as in Green chain. The tool was a hooked extension of the hand except safer to introduce into crowded areas.
