They produced their first motorbike in 1902 and it was followed by a variety of machines ranging from a 225 cc two-stroke to 500 cc four-valve singles. During the First World War Triumph Motorcycles sold more than 30 000 of its Triumph Type H model to allied forces. In 1936 Triumph came under the same ownership as the Ariel company and a new designer Edward Turner from Ariel was appointed. Turner updated many of the existing designs and was responsible for Triumph's most significant creation the Speed Twin that became the basis for Triumph's bikes until the 1980s. GENERAL TRANSPORTATION The Triumph 5TW a design that emerged during the Second World War was an ill-timed motorcycle. By the time it was ready for production the war was over and the military had a surplus of motorcycles and was not interested in buying more. However two years later in 1948 the TRW emerged in its final engine form and while few were sold to the British Army other branches of the military both at home and abroad bought enough machines to keep the line going into the 1960s. The TRW was essentially a hybrid as it combined the 500 cc side-valve engine (designed during wartime) with as many parts as possible from the commercial production machine in order to keep costs to a reasonable level. In its final form the TRW engine followed many of the lines of the prototype with a simple vertically split crankcase carrying the crankshaft and gear-driven camshaft at the front of the engine. The crankshaft however was a different form. The design allowed the use of one-piece connecting rods with plain big ends by clamping the crankpins to the central flywheel. The outer webs were forged in a 3 percent nickel steel with an integral half shaft and a crankpin which extended at a slightly reduced diameter into a hole in the flywheel. A bush was trapped between the two crankpins to prevent loss of oil pressure and the webs of the flywheel were slit. Once assembled two cross-bolts with nuts were fitted and when tightened these clamped the flywheel to the crankpins. Alignment was assisted by a close-tolerance hole in the two web cheeks and the flywheel. The crankshaft ran on a drive-side ball race with a plain timing-side bush. the camshaft was carried in two bushes and driven by an idler meshed with the crankshaft gear this idler also driving the magneto. The cylinder block was an alloy casting with the two liners pressed in and the valve seats cast in pairs. It incorporated a number of vertical webs in the finning to remove any tendency for them to ring and followed the lines of the prototype with regard to the ports.

It was marketed as a simple and fun multi-purpose vehicle: "The Fun Starts Here. Ariel 3 has been designed to be simple to drive. So there's not cluth to work no gears to go wrong. To start just open the choke twist the right handlebar grip forward and pedal off. Then turn the throttle back release the choke and the engine fires. The fun starts when you drive away. You don't need a special licence either. If you're licensed to drive a car a motor cycle or a moped you're licensed to drive Ariel 3." (Ref. 2) GENERAL TRANSPORTATION The Ariel 3 has a single cylinder two stroke 49 cc engine. It has an automatic cluth tooth belt primary drive and secondary chain drive. Front suspension consists of a trailing link with micro-cellular polyurethane blocks for shock and rebound load damping. In the read it has tri-torque suspension. It can also come with a spare wheel carrier and cover; wire shopping basket and cover; waterproof seat cover; rear view mirror; deluxe windscreen; tinted flyscreens; luggage rack; and anti-theft locking in the front wheel. The Ariel 3 was available in three different colours: Everglade Green Pacific Blue and Bushfire Orange.

Charles Benoit and Abel Bardin joined in 1922 and designed their first motorcycle in 1923 a 175 cc (10.7 cu in) single cylinder two-stroke-engined bike. By the 1930s Motobecane was producing a best-selling range of motorcycles. In 1933 they produced their first four-stroke machine with 250 cc (15 cu in) capacity. During the 1930s they manufactured a longitudinal shaft-drive inline-four engine motorcycle in 500 and 750 cc (31 and 46 cu in). During this period the firm entered road racing competitions and won the Bol d'or endurance race. After the Second World War they produced the single-cylinder D45 motorbike that filled a need for cheap transportation. The successor was the Z46 equipped with modern suspension. Like many European motorcycle manufacturers the 1960s proved difficult for Motob√©cane as cars became affordable. As a result sales decreased. The arrival of cheap efficient Japanese motorcycles also hurt sales. They continued to produce two-cylinder 125cc motorcycles throughout the 1970s. They also manufactured a small number of two-stroke three-cylinder 350cc and 500cc bikes. For a time in the late 1970s and early 1980s the company competed in Grand Prix motorcycle racing claiming several victories in the 125cc class and finishing second in the 1980 125cc road racing world championship. In 1978 Canadian Walter Muma rode a 50V (moped) 11 500 miles on a 3-month trip that began in Toronto brought him to Alaska and back to Toronto. GENERAL TRANSPORTATION Motob√©cane introduced a moped the Mobylette in 1949; over the next 48 years Motob√©cane manufactured 14 million Mobylettes. All Motob√©cane mopeds are generally referred to (and usually carry the name) Mobylette however there are several styles of submodel. Particularly during the moped boom of the 1970s several variations were available usually incorporating a number/letter combination such as 40T 40TL 40V and 50V. These naming conventions determined which types of equipment were standard or even available with the moped. For example the 40T was usually a slower version capable of just 25mph maximum speed and having no rear suspension. The top of the line 50V had front and rear suspension a heavier body and was capable of 30 to 35 miles per hour (48 to 56 km/h).

MSC is the government agency responsible for collecting and disseminating meteorological data and forecasts in Canada. It was founded in 1871 in Toronto where it is still headquartered. The MSC was originally on the University of Toronto downtown campus but moved to Downsview in 1971 on land owned by UofT. The headquarters houses laboratories research facilities and calibration and instrument maintenance facilities (now largely contracted out). An instrument used in a meteorological instrument laboratory to calibrate thermometers. An example of a temperature standard used in a laboratory for the calibration of meteorological thermometers. In 2006 both Isothermal Technology Ltd. of England and YSI Temperature of the U.S. still offered the model 17725 temperature standard and the 17725 mercury cell for sale (Ref. 1-2). A triple point is the temperature and pressure at which the gaseous liquid and solid phases of a given substance coexist at equilibrium. The triple point of mercury is.-38.8344¬∞C. at a pressure of 0.2 mPa. (Ref. 3-4) This apparatus is a free-standing self-contained mechanically refrigerated cryostat. The mercury cell (2004.0324.2) is placed in its well which is operated in the form of an essentially gradient-free heat pipe. A unique control system provides a precise means for regulation of the cell and well temperature over the range from -36 ¬∞C to -42 ¬∞C allowing the mercury triple point to be approached optionally from the freezing or melting direction. Two auxiliary wells are pre-chilling thermometers to be calibrated. The cell containment is a plasma-arc welded stainless steel shell. The mercury contained has impurities of less than 15 parts per billion. The purity of the metals such that triple point plateaux are flat to 100 microkelvins (0.0001 ¬∞C) (Ref. 2).

98577 98577 2007.0005.001 Winder wire Wood/ metal     Unknown Unknown     1890 1909 circa   1 Weathered wood and metal The Stewart family have operated and orchard and vineyard since 1909 on the piece of property just outside the corporate limits of Beamsville. The Stewart's had purchased the land from one of the members of the Rittenhouse family who have remained very active in orchard agriculture in the area. The Stewart family has since sold the farm. The wire winder was used by early generations of the Stewart family and believe that the reel came with the farm when it was purchased. Grape and hop husbandry requires the provision of wire trellises on which the growing vines can be trained. These stretched rows of wire allow the farmer to spread and prune the grape vines so the bunches of fruit receive sufficient light to allow ripening and to prevent the onset of mould. In the case of hop culture the wire trellis serves the same purpose though on much higher posts. This device was used by two labourers who carried the trellis wire to the vineyard or hopyard and to allow them ease of storage and installation of the wire.   Agriculture                 wood;metal 180 119 98       http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2007.0005.001.aa.cs.png http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2007.0005.001.aa.cs.thumb.png

Workers who lay natural gas pipelines in Canada have a custom to cut a piece of each transmission and distribution pipe that they install and arrange it into a display for good luck. These sections of the pipes were cut from Union Gas pipes and assembled by company¬ís welders especially for the Museum. To bring good luck during laying of pipelines. Union Gas steel transmission and distribution pipelines come in many different sizes based on function required capacity distance over which gas is transported and access to storage facilities among other considerations.
