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.

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.

The donor Dr. Paul Attallah is Associate Director Mass Communications in the School of Journalism and Communications at Carleton University Ottawa. His use of this home theatre for personal entertainment has also contributed to his understanding of the technical and perceptual attributes of new media technologies. The system was purchased from Bleeker Stereo & TV Ltd. Ottawa in stages between 2001 and 2004. This speaker (one of a set of 6) was purchased October 2 2002 for 400.00(plus tax). [Total price of speaker set = 2 080.00 plus tax]. | To amplify sound. | The term "home theatre" appears to have entered popular usage around 1990. It's first appearance in the index of the annual 'Consumer Reports Buying Guide' was in 1991 and an article devoted to the subject appeared in the March 1991 issue of the magazine. A "home theatre" is generally understood to consist of a large screen video display a variety of video program sources and a stereo or multi channel sound system. Until the mid- 1990s home theatres depended on analogue sources like Laserdisc players or hi-fi stereo S-VHS VCRs that conveyed a superior video signal while offering a 2-channel or 4-channel audio signal that could be fed either into a home stereo system or a special multi-speaker arrangement. Both picture and sound were far superior to the VCR-monophonic television tandem found in the vast majority of Canadian homes since about 1980. In the late 1990s consumer electronics manufacturers and broadcasters introduced several commercially important innovations: DVD players digital satellite or cable TV receivers digital high definition television (HDTV) systems and a variety of digital "surround sound" formats. In addition the selection of video displays expanded. Home theatre audio technology evolved out of the systems developed for "surround sound" in movie theatres. MX1 design makes extensive use of reinforcement to stiffen and control the cabinets in order to improve sound performance. The driver in this speaker is coated with a ceramic film to enhance stiffness; the two drivers are very close together to smooth the sound when listening off-axis. Particularly well suited to digital surround systems like Dolby Digital.

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’s 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.

A khipu consists of a primary cord to which many pendant strings were attached that themselves could have subsidiary pendants. Carefully spaced knots were tied in the pendant strings. Single knots marked tens hundreds thousands & tens of thousands; multi-looped "long knots" recorded the integers 2 through 9 (the integer corresponding to the number of turns in the knot); & a figure-of-eight knot close to the loose end of a pendant cord indicated the integer 1 (Ref. 5). Khipu have long been viewed as mnemonic devices (personalized memorization aids or maybe simple abacuses. In the 1920s it was shown that the numerical khipu were hierarchical decimal arrays for recording numbers but these rules did not fit all of the estimated 600 khipu that had survived destruction by the Spanish conquerors of the Incan empire. The latter believed that some khipu contained historical narratives religious myths & literature. In recent years some scholars have suggested that the simple accounting devices evolved into a writing system a kind of three dimensional system unlike any other on Earth. In addition to the number & placement of the knots their orientation the type of material used and the colour spin & ply direction of the strings may convey written information. Harvard anthropologist Gary Urton argues that all these factors form a sort of binary code. As of yet no one has been able to read or translate a non-numerical khipu so the theory that some are a form of writing remains untested (Ref. 1). | Mathematics | Calculating devices | Mechanical | fibre | 42 | 35 | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2005.0036.001.aa.cs.png | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2005.0036.001.aa.cs.thumb.png | ||||||||||||||||||

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 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.

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.

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 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.
