Switzerland     1946   circa   2 Metal mainspring wrapped/sealed in was paper/ Paper enveloppe with black print. These items were all used by Mr. Eckert in order to earn a living repairing and making watches and other small timepieces. He had not intended to be a watchmaker but as a young man in Germany after WWII he needed a job. He studied and trained at night. The assignment for the master exam was to make a clock from watch parts. It was to be wound from the back but the time was to be set from the front. Mr. Eckert started his training in the late 1940s. He bought his lathe in 1948. In 1963 he had the opportunity to come to Canada. He settled in Montreal and in 1977 came to Ottawa. He was self-employed and worked in various locations. Mr. Eckert retired in 1985.   These precision instruments are needed to make maintain and repair watches. These tools especially the lathe are core tools for a self-employed watchmaker. They have changed very little since the mid-19th century other than using electric motors to run certain tools. Once electronic time pieces were introduced in the 1950s and 1960s these tools were rendered largely obsolete.

HC   SanDisk Unknown     2010 2013 between   4 Small rectangular black synthetic card has gold colour metal contacts; bears white printed text. Item from comprehensive collection of tools and technologies used by a Canadian prospector who worked in the exploration division of Newmont Mining Corporation in Haiti between 2010 and 2013. This collection reflects three aspects of the modern Canadian mining crucial to the understanding of this sector: mobility of the workforce ethnicity in the workforce and globalization. The mining workforce has been highly mobile on both community and individual levels. Entire towns formed around mining operations and died or changed their character when the resources were exhausted. Mining professionals especially in the field of mineral exploration work in various often remote locations around the globe and cover long distances in their daily work. The items donated to the Museum well represent the type of tools and technologies necessary to working outdoors in remote locations and a tropical climate. Ethnicity continues to play a role in the sector¬ís hiring practices. In this particular case an employer looked for a recent graduate bilingual prospector educated in Canada who could also communicate in Haitian-Creole. A set of hiring criteria in mining is often very specific and difficult to meet by Canadian graduates but essential to succeeding in exploration projects conducted abroad. Donated artifacts reflect Haitian-Creole cultural context of Newmont operations. [Ref. 1] Specific: Stores data and ensures that only users who have paid for a service can gain access to it. Micro SD card for highly sensitive GPS used to mark precise location of collected samples. A built-in 5 megapixel autofocus camera allowed GPS user to document locations though photos.

It played a major role in the distributer's early promotional campaign crossing Lake Ontario in 1962. Mr. Hurst was the original owner. The Hurst family used it to go tot heir cottage which was situated on an island. About 1% were sold in Canada. This vehicle was displayed at the Ontario Science Centre in the 1970s. Owner driven passenger amphibious vehicle for general transportation. To date the Amphicar is the only amphibious automobile produced commercially. Its introduction marked the further transition of the automobile from a means of transport to a recreational vehicle which in later years was manifested in the dual purpose 4x4. Amphicar was designed & built by German Hans Trippel who had experimented with amphibious vehicles from 1912. During WWII he used this experience in construction of amphibious vehicles for German military. Amphicar was produced in Germany from 1961 to 1968 with total production approx. 3000 vehicles. 80% of these were sold in North America 1% in Canada. It was capable of capable of speeds of 68 mph on land & 6.5 knots in water.

A device lifted by balloon into the upper atmosphere to measure temperature humidity and air pressure and transmit the data to earth. Wind speed and direction were determined by means of the Global Positioning System a satellite based navigation system A type of radiosonde which uses signals from a system of navigational radio transmitters to determine the position of an ascending balloon (and thus wind velocity and direction) known as the Navaid method. A receiver in the sonde detects navigational signals which are sent to the ground station for positional determination from which the winds are calculated. This version of the Vaisala RS80 radiosonde is equipped to measure wind speed and direction by means of the Global Positioning System (GPS). The Meteorological Service of Canada exclusively used the Finnish Vaisala RS80 family of radiosondes which were introduced in 1983. They were manufactured in Woburn Massachusetts by Vaisala Inc but are now manufactured in Finland. At release the RS80 weighs 240 gm including the battery and train unwinder. The radiosonde is packaged in styrofoam and its density is low so that it cannot damage anything when it lands. The 19 volt battery is activated by immersion in water when the instrument is being prepared. The battery will last for 135 minutes which is sufficient for the flight and the preflight preparations. Each radiosonde is shipped packed in a hermetically sealed metal foil bag to preserve the instrument and battery during storage which may be up to two years. The 403 MHz transmitter broadcasts with a power of 200 milliwatts. Each type of radiosonde has a built in antenna and receiver for its particular navigational signals.

In 2007 Viz was the Viz Meteorological Systems Group of Sippicon Inc. and the Viz Mark II microsonde was still being promoted on the Sippican web site (Ref. 5). Winds are computed in a number of ways and a different radiosonde is required for each method. Basically a receiver in the sonde detects navigational signals which are sent to the ground station for positional determination from which the winds are calculated. The most common radiosonde used in Canada is Loran-C (Long Range Navigation) which is primarily utilized at twenty one of the southern stations. The second method VLF which is used at the ten northern stations uses navigational data from military ComVLF and Russian Alpha stations to compute the ground position of the radiosonde. The third method uses the Global Positioning System (GPS). This latter method is only used when the former two are unavailable since the GPS radiosondes are about twice as expensive as the other sondes. The low frequency receivers on the Loran or VLF radiosondes are very simple and inexpensive in comparison to the complex 1.5 GHz receiver on the GPS sonde. All of these navigational systems (navaid) determine the ground position of the radiosondes from which the winds can be calculated. In Canada every upper air stations are equipped to use any of these three types of radiosondes.

Part of a large collection of meteorological instruments acquired from the Meteorological Service of Canada (previously Atmospheric Environment Service) by the CSTM since 1967. 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). A device lifted by balloon into the upper atmosphere to measure temperature humidity and air pressure and transmit the data to earth. Wind speed and direction can be determined by tracking the radiosonde. An example of a very small radiosonde used for research purposes. The AER AQI 403 mHz Minisonde was a type of radiosonde was only used for research and air pollution studies not operational soundings. Beside being less expensive than a radiosonde it only required a 6" pilot balloon which used much less gas than a regular radiosonde balloon. The thermistor based circuit modulated the 403 mHz transmitter which was converted to temperature on the recorder of the surface receiving station. The vertical height was determined from the ascent rate of the balloon (Ref. 1).

In the 1980's the (American) National Bureau of Standards types of radiosondes (such as 1987.0824 1987.0826 1991.0095 1991.0100) which had been the main operational radiosonde in Canada for fifty years began to disappear. Gradually starting in 1985 they were replaced by the Viz/Beukers Mark I/II (2004.0360 2005.0043) and the Vaisala RS80 NAVAID radiosondes (2004.0358-0359 2005.0041-0042. The RS80 was being used at all Canadian stations by 1999. By 2004 the MSC was considering replacing the latter with the Vaisala RS90 or RS92 (Ref. 2). In 2007 the RS80 was still available from Vaisala but had been superseded by the RS92 (Ref. 5).

A device lifted by balloon into the upper atmosphere to measure temperature humidity and air pressure and transmit the data to earth. An example of a 1980's-1990's radiosonde. The Meteorological Service of Canada exclusively used the Finnish Vaisala RS80 family of radiosondes which were introduced in 1983. They were manufactured in Woburn Massachusetts by Vaisala Inc but are now manufactured in Finland. At release the RS80 weighs 240 gm including the battery and train unwinder. The radiosonde is packaged in styrofoam and its density is low so that it cannot damage anything when it lands. The 19 volt battery is activated by immersion in water when the instrument is being prepared. The battery will last for 135 minutes which is sufficient for the flight and the preflight preparations. Each radiosonde is shipped packed in a hermetically sealed metal foil bag to preserve the instrument and battery during storage which may be up to two years. The 403 MHz transmitter broadcasts with a power of 200 milliwatts. Each type of radiosonde has a built in antenna and receiver for its particular navigational signals. Several models of the RS80 were used for regular flights: the RS80 15LH is the Loran-C radiosonde; the RS80 15GH is the GPS radiosonde; the RS80 15FH is the VLF radiosonde (Ref.2). The RS80-15N measured the usual pressure temperature and humidity but was also designed to measure upper air winds through the Omega Navaid global network established in the early 1970's (Ref. 4) The sensor package is on a separate circuit board which contains an aneroid pressure sensor (Barocap). The ceramic chip temperature sensor (Thermocap) and a polymer film humidity sensor (Humicap) are mounted on an external arm attached to this board. During a 1.5 second period an electronic commutator switches in each of the different sensors as well as two reference capacitors and the Barocap temperature sensor. All of these sensors use the variation in their capacitance to determine the parameter being measured. The RS80 radiosonde is capable of measuring this capacitance with a resolution of 10 -3 pF. The carrier frequency is amplitude modulated with the sensor informat… Meteorology Upper air pressure temperature & humidity measurement Telemetry Meteorology Upper wind speed & direction measurement Radio & radar measure       synthetic->styrofoam;paper->cardboard;metal->;synthetic->plastic;paper 18 10.2   5.8 cm     http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2005.0041.001.aa.cs.png http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2005.0041.001.aa.cs.thumb.png

A device lifted by balloon into the upper atmosphere to measure temperature humidity and air pressure and transmit the data to earth. Wind speed and direction can be determined by tracking the radiosonde. A type of radiosonde which uses signals from a system of navigational radio transmitters to determine the position of an ascending balloon (and thus wind velocity and direction) known as the Navaid method. A receiver in the sonde detects navigational signals which are sent to the ground station for positional determination from which the winds are calculated. This version of the Vaisala RS80 radiosonde is equipped to measure upper wind speed and direction by means of the Omega Navaid global network (Ref. 4).
