United States of America Washington Seattle 1960 1962 circa   2 Silver metal cabinet. This machine presumably used at the Ottawa General Hospital Ottawa Ont. (listed as donor)1 To separate waste matter & water from the blood by circulating them through a series of filters. These wastes are then eliminated from the body as urine. Now used as temporary or stop-gap measure in treating patients suffering from kidney failure. Until 1958 when the first successful kidney transplant operation was performed patients spent several hours connected to such a machine in hospital or on out-patient basis: treatment might be conducted 2-3 times per week or more.

93099 93099 2004.0514.004 Transfer paper Midland Railway Co./ MIDLAND   Tearne & Sons England   Birmingham         5 white with pink 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 form of decal used to label and decorate railway equipment ships and industrial equipment 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 David Dunlap Observatory opened in 1935 as the result of a bequest from the wife of David Dunlap. The telescope was a 74 inch (188 cm) reflector built by Grubb Parsons of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England. The 74 inch was then the largest telescope in Canada (surpassing the 72 inch telescope of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria) and became the second largest in the world after the 100 inch Hooker Telescope of the Mt. Wilson Observatory outside Los Angeles. DDO's reputation grew and following WWII it began to graduate most of the astronomers produced in Canada with University of Western Ontario far behind. Beginning in the 1960s a number of other astronomy departments were created but UofT/DDO held its place a position it probably still holds. The DDO had a good technical staff which gave them an advantage and with most of the 1940s to early 1970s top astronomers coming from UofT grants from NRC and then ENSERC were almost guaranteed and allowed UofT's top astronomers -- Hogg van den Berg Fernie Bolton Kamper Martin etc. to acquire or build some of the best equipment available in university observatories. For optical observatories only the DAO had technical staff and budgets that surpassed those of DDO. In 2007 citing increasing light pollution the University of Toronto announced plans to sell the Observatory property. In June 2008 it was sold to Corsica Development Inc. a subsidiary of Metrus Development Inc. and the Observatory was closed. In 2009 the Observatory buildings and 80% of the site were designated a cultural heritage landscape. Also in 2009 Corsica and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Toronto Centre announced an agreement allowing the RASC to provide public education and outreach programs at the observatory and to operate the 188 cm telescope. A device used for digitally measuring spectra on photographic plates in an astronomical observatory. This Perkin-Elmer PDS machine is a device for digitally measuring photographs. When purchased in 1974 by Dr. Tom Bolton with NSERC funding to the tune of approximately $150 000 - a very significant purchase at the time and the only one in Canada. It was used to measure both stellar and galactic spectra as well as direct images of the sky taken with the DDOs 74 inch telescope and plates acquired by Sidney Van de Burgh at the 48 inch Mt. Palomar Schmidt telescope. Subsequently the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria acquired another such instrument and it is still being used to scan the spectra in their historic spectroscopic plate collection dating back to 1917. The PDS was the first generation of digital scanning equipment (there had been analogue instruments in use from the 1920s or 1930s in Canada) which we take for granted today. However the stability of the PDS is so good that the best scanners today can barely match it. Part of the decision on whether to donate the PDS to the Canada Museum of Science and Technology was based on test to confirm whether the new machines could do the job they require.
