105915 105915 2013.0035.001 holder stone sharperner Ivory coloured bone with a riveted metal clasp and a wooden plug.     Unknown Unknown     1860   before   2 Ivory coloured bone with a riveted metal clasp. Whetstones were an essential tool used to keep the blade of a scythe very sharp to allow it to cut the stems of grass or cereal plants. Although the whetstone would have been purchased the animal horn would have been a "found" object. The hollow horn is used to keep the whetstone safe while working in the field with a scythe cradle scythe or sickle. Every farmer would have had and would have been actively using a whetstone during harvest season. The horn would most likely have come from the carcass of a cow that had been slaughtered for food.

105383 105383 2012.0112.002 Zoophyte trough part Glass piece     Unknown Unknown     1895 1954 between   2 Clear semi-circular glass piece. This is an extremely rare of collection documenting the work and processes of a slide preparer C.R. Percival. Slide preparation is the foundation of microscopy and its images and yet seldom has this kind of history been told and almost never preserved in material form. C.R. Percival had learned the art and science of slide preparation in England at the turn of the century. He then took up the trade in Toronto where he spent the majority of his life. Above all this collection provides a comprehensive understanding of the multilayered material scientific artisanal commercial and social processes behind the production of microscopic images. In an era when people and especially students take for granted the creation of scientific imagery this collection documents in rich well preserved historical detail the means microscopic images are created (and interpreted) within particular historic conditions. The Canadian and British provenance for this collection is very well-documented back to C.R. Percival.

There are two brass zip fasteners and 4 silver ones. All vary in size. Taken from acquisition proposal Reference 1: Through the Bithell story we see the cohesiveness of Montreal¬ís English-speaking enclaves at the turn of the 20th century. Joseph Bithell¬ís first store was located on Beaver Hall Hill at the outer edge of the ¬ìSquare Mile ¬î the home of Montreal¬ís Anglophone elite who headed many of Canada¬ís major businesses and institutions. His clientele most likely included many of the area¬ís residents who as Margaret Westley notes preferred to ¬ìshop at stores owned and operated by fellow Scots and Englishmen¬î and who¬ís favourite past time included horse riding horse driving polo and frequenting the Montreal Hunt Club. The relocation of their various businesses across the city also reflected this cohesion as they tended to set up their shops in or in close proximity to these Anglophone enclaves. The story tells us about Montreal at a time when it was the industrial and commercial centre of Canada and from the perspective of skilled tradesmen who worked in what was quickly becoming a dying trade. The adoption of the automobile redefined personal transportation as its increasing popularity began reducing the need for horses and buggies and consequently the need for saddle and harness makers. In this way the Bithells were part of an important aspect of Canada¬ís economical social and cultural history. Used in the making of horse harnesses saddles and other leather goods. Taken from acquisition proposal Reference 1: In the 1850s many industries started to transition from craft production to small-scale manufacturing to mechanized industry which saw the use of heavy costly machinery rather than smaller hand tools. At this time Montreal¬ís leather industry was starting to grow exponentially and by the 1890s the Montreal market for leather goods was considered one of the largest in Canada dominated largely by shoe production. At this time the leather industry consisted of different modes of production that co-existed. The most predominant were artisanal production ¬ìputting-out¬î where men and women did stitching work from home and factory production. Leather production in artisanal shops such as those in Montreal¬ís tanning district of Saint Henri started to give way to ¬ìputting out¬î by the 1850s. In the shoe industry both ¬ìputting out¬î and artisanal shoemaking were in decline by the 1870s replaced by factory or mechanized production. Montreal had dominated Canadian saddle production in particular with an estimated 23 mostly small and artisanal saddle manufacturers in 1871. The situation changed very little in 1881 as the industry was described as being ¬ìstocked with workman.¬î Gregory Kealey notes that harness and saddle making were less affected by mechanization than other trades such as shoemaking which could explain the relative success of the trade at this time. Saddlery and harness making were also considered prestigious trades compared to other forms of leather work because of the time required to learn and master the trade. By the 1920s Montreal had begun to loose its status as a preeminent manufacturing centre in Quebec and Canada. Saddle making also began to die off and most of what was left of the industry was centred in Ontario. Nonetheless by the end of the Second World War the leather industry along with food clothing textile wood and tobacco made up 54.2 per cent of Quebec¬ís industrial labour force and 48.6 percent of the total value of ind… Industrial Technology Tools & equipment-trades Harness & saddle maker Industrial Technology Tools & equipment-trades Leather worker       metal             http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2010.0912.001.aa.cs.png http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2010.0912.001.aa.cs.thumb.png

Weyburn Mental Hospital in Weyburn SK opened its doors in 1921 and closed (as the Souris Valley Hospital) in 2005. From the 1940s to 1971 it took part in controversial treatments for mental illness including lobotomy and electro shock therapy. It was also famous for its pioneering experiments with LSD in the 1950s and 60s. Dr. Humphrey Osmond who coined the term "psychedelic" performed several experiments with patients and university students. In its heyday the Weyburn was a well-equipped self-sufficient health facility. Some complained that it was even better equipped than the local hospital. This x-ray machine [system component] would have been the workhorse for the institution. It was still in use after the building shut down a few years ago. It does not have direct ties to the more controversial history at Weyburn but in colour and design mirrored the institutional interior of Weyburn.

Dr. Richard Proctor University of Manitoba Graduate who served in France starting in 1915. Previously in charge of the X-Ray department in the Strathcona Hospital in Edmonton he is noted to have changed his Meyers X-Ray machine to a Victor in 1925. Used to produce graphic images of internal structures. Early elaborate x-ray machine features both fluoroscoping (diagnostic) and radiographic (treatment) apparatus and a table capable of both vertical and horizontal positioning. Probably used with separate curved potter-bucky. X-ray machines were able to take only single films. The unit usually has the tube mounted above and the film below. The tube can usually be moved to various positions and angles including the horizontal position for chest films in which case the cassette and Bucky are in a separate stand.

Used in Ottawa specifically at 136 Lewis St. by Dr. Powers. Used to provide graphic images of internal structures. Example of an exclusively vertical X-ray machine used in doctors' offices. Variable-pulsed phototimed fluoroscopy. By using the strobe like effect ofavariable light source each exposure is optimized. The little photomuttiplier pictured be?low monitors the image for a built-in reference computer. The computer automatically corrects KV in the system to assure uniform in-put to the camera. MTF improves because brilliant light pulses yield more information than the same amount of light from a steady source. And the result is something no other fluoroscopic camera can give you: an absolute maximum in brightness and contrast with the absolute minimum dosage.

Weyburn Mental Hospital in Weyburn SK opened its doors in 1921 and closed (as the Souris Valley Hospital) in 2005. From the 1940s to 1971 it took part in controversial treatments for mental illness including lobotomy and electro shock therapy. It was also famous for its pioneering experiments with LSD in the 1950s and 60s. Dr. Humphrey Osmond who coined the term "psychedelic" performed several experiments with patients and university students. In its heyday the Weyburn was a well-equipped self-sufficient health facility. Some complained that it was even better equipped than the local hospital. This x-ray machine [system component] would have been the workhorse for the institution. It was still in use after the building shut down a few years ago. It does not have direct ties to the more controversial history at Weyburn but in colour and design mirrored the institutional interior of Weyburn. Much of the old equipment and supplies went to developing countries when the shut-down occurred and some went to the University of Regina theatrical department. [Ref. 1] To direct radiation beam onto specific area. Element of durable x-ray fluoroscopic machine used for many purposes. It was part of a new generation of fluoroscopic technology following the invention of large image intensifiers in 1953. With these photomultiplier tubes ordinary movie cameras could capture the moving pictures of the fluoroscopic images. Contrast agents such as barium would have been used to see bodily processes in real time. {ref. 1] Medical Technology Radiology Radiation equipment             metal;synthetic - possible 47 32 47       http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2009.0068.001.aa.cs.png http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2009.0068.001.aa.cs.thumb.png

United States of America New york Rochester 1920   circa   1 painted glossy black/ metallic lever grip controls parts/ white or yellow and black dial An American made printing device used to write cheques by les Soeurs de la Charit√© de Montreal the Sisters of Charity of Montreal (Soeurs Grises/Grey Nuns). The order was established by Mme Marguerite d'Youville in Montreal in 1737 to serve to poor and sick. The Grey Nuns run hospitals orphanages schools homes for the aged institutions for the blind and other social services and works of charity in various parts of Canada and the United States. D'Youville was officially recognized as a Saint of the Roman Catholic Church in 1990. A device used to print characters on cheques in such a way as to prevent fraudulent alteration. An example of a 1920s cheque writer and protector. As more businesses and other organizations began to pay accounts with cheques in the 19th century demand rose for means of preventing fraudulent alteration to the amount of the cheque or the name of the payee. In the United States mechanical cheque writers began to appear in the 1870s. By the 1920s at least 20 manufacturers were offering products. Cheque protectors are still being produced today. Different manufacturers devised and patented their own means of making cheques unalterable which included printing special characters or embossing cutting or perforating the paper. The Protectograph Model H which was advertised from 1901 to 1924 macerated the paper and inserted red and black ink.
