97180 97180 2005.0060.001 Scanner metal synthetic and glass components. Chromagraph DC 350 60060322 Hell Rudolph Gmbh Federal Republic of Germany   Kiel 1982   circa   17 Metal synthetic and glass components. Lower-portion of casing has blue-grey pebble-textured enamel painted metal finish; upper portion of casing has beige pebble-textured painted metal finish. Bright silver metal; off-white grey & black synthetic and painted metal trim and fittings. Grey and black synthetic coverings on cords hoses etc. Example of type of equipment once widely used in the Canadian graphic arts industry. By reducing the time and skilled hand labour required to produce corrected colour separations digital electronic scanners like the DC 350 helped the graphic arts industry meet the increasing demand for colour images from advertisers and publishers in the 1970s and 1980s. This example of a DC 350 was originally owned by a company called Colour Images. In 1995 the firm and the scanner were acquired by Maracle Press which used the scanner until June 2004. Maracle Press was incorporated in 1920 and had a long association with the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Today it is a privately owned company specializing in book manufacturing and commercial printing. It employs more than 75 workers at its Oshawa plant which provides integrated pre-press press and bindery services to clients across North America. (Ref. 1) Used to scan a print or transparency to produce four colour separation films used in lithographic or gravure platemaking. Scanner includes an operator panel a colour and scale computer and three rotating drums: the first scans the original image the second scans masks superimposed on the original and the third records the finished output on photographic film. The Hell Chromagraph DC 350 represents a critical technology introduced to the production of images for the graphic arts industry in the middle of the 20th century. In its use of digital stored program control and a laser it was an important element in the shift of pre-press operations from a photographic mechanical and manual activity to a fully automated digital process. The 1st colour scanners were introduced in the 1950s. Due to their high price and to effective cost competition from colour correction by masking colour scanners spread very slowly. In the 1970s scanner builders greatly increased the speed and capability of their machines. Digital processing and data storage began to supplant analog devices greatly increasing the flexibility of the systems by making it easier to manipulate data collected by the scanner. The most advanced of the new generations of scanner were the Crosfield Magnascan 550 and the Hell DC 300 and DC 3000. The first of these machines began appearing in Canadian plants in early 1973. These machines were generally too expensive for medium-sized plants. But manufacturers also introduced smaller scanners with more basic features geared to these firms. By the early 1980s sales of colour scanners were booming. The Chromagraph DC 350 was introduced to the N. American printing trade in 1981 as the successor to the DC 300. It boasted many of the features of advanced scanners of the time including the ability to produce film positives or negatives in a variety of sizes from a variety of reflection or transparency copy. In addition it could produce screened film for half-tone reproduction by electronically generated dots controlled by the digital computer. These were exposed on film by a laser producing half-tones superior in fine detail to the … Printing Platemaking Special purpose             metal;synthetic;glass 342 90 136   990 kg   http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2005.0060.001.aa.cs.png http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2005.0060.001.aa.cs.thumb.png

2143 2143 1967.0027.001 Automobile   MAXWELL/25 353644 Maxwell Motor Corp. United States of America Michigan Detroit 1922   circa   1   In 1905 a 2 cylinder Maxwell car was used by CP as a rail inspection car in Alberta. A Montreal to Vancouver tour was done in a Maxwell in 1920 by Percy Gomery and his wife president of the Vancouver Automobile Club. The US manufacturer Maxwell Motor Corp. established a branch plant near Windsor Ontario in 1916. When the Chalmers Motor Car Co. of Canada Ltd came into difficulty in 1917 the firm came under Maxwell 's control and the 2 branch plants operated jointly as the Maxwell Motor Company of Canada. Limited and the Chalmers Motor Company of Canada Limited. With the afterwar depression the U.S. parent of Maxwell came into difficulty and was directed by Walter Chrysler. He redesigned the Maxwell car and consolidated the 2 branch plants in the Maxwell plant. The Chalmers car was soon out of production and the last Maxwell was sold in 1925. The first Chrysler car in Canada was assembled in the former Maxwell plant. The Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited was incorporated from the remains of Maxwell and Chalmers. Owner driven passenger car for general transportation. Model 25 was offered from 1914 until 1925. The former Maxwell car was not really good. In 1921 a revised version of the Maxwell car was offered on the market and promoted as the "Good Maxwell". It had rear-axles trusses and extra fuel tank straps. The Maxwell firm was founded in 1904 by Ben Briscoe and Jonathan Maxwell. It became between 1906-1910 of the top-tier auto manufacturers along with Ford Reo and Buick. In 1910 it became part of the United States Motor Co. formed to rival General Motors Corporation but it was short lived. The company went into receivership. Maxwell was the only survivor and became Maxwell Motor Co. in 1913. The new firm did especially well with the new model 25.

4277 4277 1968.0102.001 Automobile   MCLAUGHLIN-BUICK/33 2876 McLaughlin Motor Car Co. Ltd. Canada Ontario Oshawa 1911       1   This car was made in Canada and most probably purchased by a Canadian. McLaughlin-Buick cars were popular in Canada. The Buick-McLaughlin Motor Car Company Ltd started in 1907 with an agreement between owners of an important Canadian carriage maker the McLaughlin family and the rising American firm Buick Motor Co. founded in 1903. In fact in 1908 Buick was the number one producer of automobiles in United States. McLaughlin would be importing the engine and other Buick parts and doing the car bodies. Ultimately in 1918 the firm became General Motors of Canada. Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation. According to records book it seems that no model 33 would have been made in Canada. But since only 2 examples are known to exist this a rare car. We can explain this by the fact that McLaughlin used to produce different body styles on the same chassis as Buick and numbered them similarly. A model 33 existed in United states in 1911. The number 36 is stamped under the front seat.

United States of America Michigan Flint 1908       1 CREAM COLOUR/ BRASS LIGHTS This model was very popular in Canada and sold for $1050. It was nicknamed the White Streak. This version of the model 10 (gentleman's roadster) and a touring version of it were manufactured also in Canada in 1908. Starting in 1907 Buick cars were constructed in Canada by the McLaughlin Motor Car Company in Oshawa Ontario. Eventually in 1918 the firm became General Motors of Canada. When McLaughlin signed the deal with Durant in 1908 Buick was then the no.1 producer of automobiles in US. Owner driven passenger car for general transportation. This model was the most popular for Buick in 1908 in the US because it included brass trim off-white color acetylene headlights oil-fired and taillights and bulb horn all for $900. Equipped with a 4 cylinder engine (valve in head) developing 22.5 HP and monocle windshield fastened to the steering column. THIS CAR IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN CHANGED OVER ITS LIFETIME FROM A GENTLEMAN'S ROADSTER INTO A SPEEDSTER Buick was founded by David Dunbar Buick in 1903. In 1900 he produced his first car with engineer Walter L. Marr. The firm moved to Flint Michigan in 1903. It was bought by W. Durant in 1904.

United States of America Connecticut Hartford 1911       1 PAINTED RED AND BLACK At least one sold in Canada in Nova Scotia. Came from the Smith Collection Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation. The Motorette was introduced in 1910 by Cadwallader Washburn "Carl" Kelsey. The idea of a passenger-vehicle with 3 wheels was not new. Over the course of their history though they had encountered problems with stability. They rolled over. Kelsey developed the stabilizer or anti-sway bar which counteracted this tendency. He developed the Motorette to compete with Ford Model T: low-cost light comfortable and easy to drive. The car was sold $385 about half the price of its competitor. However problems occurred with the engines after giving the contract for their production to Lycoming which went on strike shortly after. The engines produced were tested very minimally and were exported on the cars. They were unreliable having their crankcase with sand. This gave bad reputation to Kelsey's Motorette. The company closed in December 1911 after making about 210 Motorettes.

Manufactured in Sherbrooke PQ by Adam Hall Corp. well known and respected manufacturers of camp ranges and heaters popular in lumber camps and other forest-related enterprises in Eastern Ontario/ Western Quebec. This stove was owned and used by the hope Lumber Co. in 1920s-early 1930s in logging camps along the Garden River and later Ranger Lake. In 1936 it became the property of the Ontario Ministry [of Natural Resources ?] and was used in various camps until c. 1950 when the McClelland family acquired it for use in their fishing camp. Designed to warm and/or cook food and beverages by means of heat aboard a vessel. Highly portable and relatively lightweight stove could be taken apart prior to movement to/between lumber camps. Stoves such as this were frequently transported on pointer boats. Large rings fastened to four corners of stove body facilitate lifting and carrying and were used to secure stove while in transit. Hot meals could be prepared while the boat travelled and served hot upon arrival.

Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation. The Baker Electric car production was among the most important in the US. The firm was founded in 1899. In 1913 Baker was overtaken in sales by Detroit Electric and in 1914 merged with fellow Cleveland automaker Rauch and Lang to become Baker Rauch & Lang. The last cars were produced in 1916. Electric cars had their peak in 1912. Then with the introduction of the electric starter in 1913 electric cars went in decline and were limited to niche applications such as for industrial vehicles until the 1970's and then again with the petrol crisis and environmental concerns. Women and doctors were the clients targeted by manufacturers of electric cars for their quietness ease of operation and cleanliness.

Owner driven passenger sports car for general transportation. The company has origins in the sewing machines business and bicycle industry. It made bicycles and three wheelers some of which were motorized at the end of the 19th century. The company decided to go into the car manufacturing business in 1905 when it became Singer & Company Ltd. It prospered so well that by the mid-1920s Singer was Britain's third largest auto manufacturer behind Morris and Austin. Reorganized as Singer Motors Ltd in 1936 it later imported in Canada after WW2. The company was absorbed by Rootes Group in 1955 and the Singer name in cars died in 1970.

The first model T's went out of the Canadian factory in October 1908. The company still exists in 2010. The 'Tin Lizzie put the world on wheels' Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transortation. No such model existed as Doctor's Coupe at Ford's. This name existed though for carriages. It seems that this model name was allotted to this type of coupe over time probably because it offered the features that doctors would have appreciated: enclosed body allowing protection from weather elements good affordable price good reliability trunk to keep medical material and objects received as payments. Coupes were introduced at Ford in 1909 with the new model T. They were discontinued in 1910 (or produced in very small quantities until 1915). The vehicle then returned to the market with the name coupelet. not much technical change since the 1926 model who had brakes improved new tires and more body colors offered.

Detailed Description of the Buick 1905 Two Cylinder Side Entrance Town Car. 1   This Buick Model C was owned by a car dealer living in Ontario. According to Glenn Baechler initially the car came from a US source either Alton Walker of California or Sydney Bliss of Scranton Pennsylvania. The car was sent to Ron Fawcett by the car dealer (Billings) to have it restored and eventually the car became his property. see supp info file for more details-Glenn Baechler report April 15 2011. STARTING IN 1908 BUICK CARS WERE CONSTRUCTED IN CANADA BY THE McLAUGHLIN MOTOR CAR COMPANY IN OSHAWA ONTARIO. EVENTUALLY IN 1918 THE FIRM WILL BECOME GENERAL MOTORS OF CANADA. WHEN MCLAUGHLIN SIGNED THE DEAL WITH DURANT IN 1908 BUICK WAS THEN THE NO.1 PRODUCER OF AUTOMOBILES IN U.S. Owner driven passenger vehivle for general transportation. 729 Model C Buicks were built in 1905. In 1933 14 were still in existence. Buick started production in Flint Michigan in 1904. The 5 passenger Model C was the first Buick built in significant numbers. Its engine was more efficient than other engines of the same size. The valves were positioned directly over the pistons developing more HP. Buick was founded by David Dunbar Buick in 1903. In 1900 he produced his first car with engineer Walter L. Marr. The firm moved to Flint Michigan in 1903. It was bought by W. Durant in 1904.

Lead (?) counterweight. This plotter used in Canada's national mapping program c. late 1960s-early 1990s and is an example of the last analogue plotting devices used by the Topographic Service of Canada. 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. The Kern encoders and control module were installed by Terra Surveys of Ottawa when they rented this machine for the MOM project completing the large scale mapping of Riyadh Saudi Arabia. The A8 was on loan to Terra for the duration of the project's digital compilation stage. [Ref. 1] To produce a plan or map on a fixed scale from a pair of aerial photographs. Wild A8 plotter introduced in 1952 (with A7 Autograph): these two machines were most widely used plotters in last half of 20th c.. Analogue plotters like A8 are still in use but are frequently converted to digital operation by addition of digital shift encoders. This permits semi-automation of mapping process from negatives or prints but is not equivilant to digital technology which uses images from digital cameras and which is current standard [c. 2000 +] . 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. The original plotter was accurate to ~ 0.02-0.03 mm in X-Y measurements of photos and to ~0.01 mm once converted to digital readouts. A8s were generally used to plot at scales between 1:1000 and 1:10 000. The photographic plates were normally 230 x 230 mm and were generated from photos obtained from survey cameras mounted in aircraft. [Ref. 1] This plotter is likely one of the last produced.

Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited was incorporated in 1904 following an agreement signed by Henry Ford and his company Ford Motor Company (founded in 1903) and Gordon McGregor of the Walkerville Wagon Works under the initiative of the former one. Ford became number one in production and in sales in Canada until the 1930's when competition with GM caused yearly styling changes which were well received by consumers. It remained one of the first 3 main car manufacturers in Canada for many decades. Canadian-built model Ts were produced from 1908 to 1927 and were sold throughout the commonwealth. Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation. Model Ts were offered in different body styles the center door being one of them starting in 1914 for the 1915 model. It was offered until 1923. This model seems to be a 1915 one with a 1919-1920 engine. (to check). Ford model T was nicknamed 'Tin Lizzie". Produced en mass on an assembly line pioneered by Ford their price went down which made them affordable to more people. By 1927 over 15 million model Ts had been produced worldwide making it the first true "world car". In Canada 15 007 033 model T's were manufactured from 1908 until 1927 for the domestic market and for exportation.

Both were originating from the carriage industry and were important manufacturers in their respective countries. The Gray Carriage company was first a blacksmith shop founded in 1853 by William Gray which eventually became a carriage manufacturer. In the early days of the automobile in Canada Gray Carriage used to do bodies for other car manufacturers in Canada like Ford of Canada of Walkerville Still Motor Car Co. of Toronto and Chatham Motor Car Co. The Gray-Dort car was popular in Canada even more so than the Dort car in USA. It was particularly popular in Canada West. The company closed in 1925 shortly after the American Dort firm closed its doors. Despite the fact that by 1923 60% of Gray-Dort cars were made in Canada the firm could not survive to the lost of its American partner mainly because of fears they could not do it. The car bodies the rear springs rear axles bent wood products lamps transmission radiator all those were made in Canada. Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation.

These vehicles which date from 1968-1993 represent a variety of themes in the history of the snowmobile in Canada. This Yamaha machine was one of the sleds driven by the winning team in the 1990 Harricana Rally. Endurance racing had a long history in snowmobiling (the Winnipeg to St. Paul was established in 1966) but the Harricana was in another category altogether. Modeled on the Paris to Darker car rally it took racers from Montr√©al to Radisson Quebec a distance of about 2500 kms over the course of about 11 days. This sled belonged to Claude Marceau a member of the winning team of three who covered the distance in 37 hrs 38 minutes and 6 seconds. The second place team was just 27 seconds behind him.

Canada Ontario Orillia 1908 1909     1   The company's history started in Orillia when William Tudhope established a blacksmith and wheelwright shop. Eventually his sons joined the company making it the William Tudhope and Son firm. In 1897 it became the Tudhope's Carriage Works. In 1897 two of the sons (J.B. and William Hugh) formed along with Hugh Reid Campbell the Tudhope Carriage Company Ltd. The firm started automobile manufacturing in 1908 by importing chassis and engines of the McIntyre Company situated in Auburn Indiana. The model produced was very similar to the American model except for a few extra styling touches to the body. It was popular from coast to coast as it was a reliable easy-starting vehicle. In 1909 a fire destroyed the plant. A new building was reconstructed and the company began full production of a new car the Everitt '30'. It no longer produced the McIntyre High-Wheeler. This firm started out as the Tudhope Motor Company limited and lasted until 1913. Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation. The High wheelers type of automobile filled brief need for light cheap rural transportation when the roads were too rough for conventional cars. By 1909 the demand for high wheelers had dropped. The vehicle had a 13 hp two-cylinder air -cooled engine horizontally opposed chain drive and planetary transmission and Chapman's double ball bearing axles.

Current trends in labour and technology costs and improvements in robotics suggest that robotic milking will be the norm on Canadian dairy farms in 20-3o years. Although the technology will continue to evolve single box systems using laser teat location predominate today. The specific system donated by Norwell is the second commercial robotic milking system installed in all of North America. In the future this will be an important artifact which demonstrates that Canada lead in the adoption of this technology on this continent. [as per curator c. 2004] To mechanically milk a cow whenever she determines it is necessary without human intervention. Prolion/AMS Liberty was the first commercial company to sell robotic technology and this AMS Liberty system is very similar to those first systems introduced in Europe seven years earlier. Numerous features such as sonar teat location techniques in cup teat cleaning and the multi-box approach itself represent early approaches to robotic milking that met with limited commercial success and are being replaced. There is little doubt that in years to come this system will represent an important step in the evolution of what will then be widespread and common technology.

According to Glenn Baechler the car was orignially purchased by a Preston Ontario man who lived about 300 Chopin street in Preston. Early reports from the 1950's indicated he had bought components from the Good Brothers and assembled this car. Mr Baechler saw this car in pieces in a barn behind the house in 1953. Gordon Smith bought it. It was assembled into its present form by using pictures of the one original that is in the Doon Pioneer Museum. Kavanaugh showed the car at Hershey without the radiator.

United States of America Pennsylvania Butler 1931       2 .1 BLUE WITH BROWN/ Type of car probably bought by some Canadians. Owner driven passenger car for general transportation. Example of one automobile manufacturer that attempted to offer a small economical car to the North American market in the late 1920's -1930's. The American Austin car is the follow-up to the small Austin Seven car developed in Great Britain in 1922. It was so successful that other European countries like France Germany and Japan made their own versions. An American model was thought as a good idea and the firm American Austin was incorporated in 1929. Because of the Depression the beginning was difficult but in 1932 sales went up In 1934 however the company went bankrupt. It was bought and became American Bantam Car Co. in 1935. The firm stopped production of cars in 1940 with 1941 model. The American Austin/Bantam did not successfully succeed to sell small cars to the North American market. It was the object of jokes. The Coachwork was done by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky and Hayes Body Co of Detroit.
