Period of Use: This instrument presumably used 1872+
Area of Use:
This instrument was used in Canada. This type of instrument used in Nam, Europe, British Empire, and
possibly elsewhere.
Canada
Significance to Canada: Instrument used by Topographical Survey (Div), Dept. of the Interior. It was reportedly among the
instruments used on 49th parallel boundary survey of 1872-1874. It was also said to have been
used in the survey of the railway belt required by the entry of BC into Confederation in 1871.
Page 37 of 18516-Oct-2012
Artifact Full Report
Significance to Technology: From Chauvenet, v. II, p. 340:
The zenith telescope is a portable instrument specially adapted for the measurement of
small differences of zenith distance. It is essentially the invention of Capt. Andrew Talcott, of
the U. S. Corps of Engineers (in 1834); but, having been exclusively adopted in the U. S.
Coast Survey for the determination of latitudes, it has there received several improvements,
which have given it a more general character than it possessed at first. As now constructed
[1891], it can be used at all zenith distances, and may be regarded as designed for the
comparison of any two nearly equal zenith distances in any azimuths. The method of finding
the latitude by this instrument, now known as Talcott's Method, is one of the most valuable
improvements in practical astronomy of recent years, surpassing all previously known
methods (not excepting that of bessel by prime vertical transits) both in simplicity and in
accuracy.
Missing Parts: Some small component parts, hardware etc. missing. Presumably would have been used with striding level
over mounting arm, and possibly tube or spirit level fitted to vertical circle; Diagonal eyepiece missing.
Materials General: All metal construction (including brass, and possibly silver circles); Glass optics; Lead weights. Came
with wooden crate fitted with metal hardware.

using magnifying eyepieces & vernier; vertical circle mounted on telescope divided 0-180-0, and read using

Period of Use: This kit was presumably used c. 1875-76, and possibly longer.
Area of Use:
This kit was carried aboard the H.M.S. Alert, in northern Canada.
Canada
Significance to Canada: Recovered from campsite of H.M.S. Alert (Headed by Capt. Sir George Nares, 1875-76), the first
vessel to land on the shores of northern Ellesmere Island. G. Hattersley-Smith & R.G. Blackadar
discovered site 12 miles south of Cape Sheridan in 1953. This box was evidently part of the kit
carried by a group travelling by dog sledge. In fact, they had a number of sledge teams.
Significance to Technology: Example of kit containing basic medical supplies assembled for use by mobile teams from
H.M.S Alert. Based on surviving contents, expected injuries were wounds and bone breaks
and/or sprains (many probably associated with effects of cold and frost bite). Glass shards
probably bottled alcohol.
Missing Parts: Unknown - Kit contains assortment of collected items.
Materials General: Wooden box with metal hinges: contains fabric (cotton?), glass and metal items.

Period of Use:
Area of Use:
Was used by EMR mapping.
Significance to Canada: Used by Mapping Branch of federal department of Energy, Mines and Resources.
Significance to Technology: Example of a photographic system once commonly used for copying documents. Main unit
consists of the camera, which contains a roll of photosensitive paper, a built-in paper cutter,
and trays containing fluids for developing and fixing the exposed image. A darkroom is not
required. The resulting copy, or "photostat" is a negative image. The operator makes
positives by copying this negative. Although focus and exposure settings are simplified,
Photostat machines do require a trained operator. For this reason, and because the copying
process is slow and the chemicals and paper expensive, Photostat machines were rendered
obsolete by the perfection of dry process, electrostatic copiers like the Xerox.

Significance to Canada: The disproportionate number of accidents involving Corvairs from 1960-63 had a profound
influence on the rise of the consumer protection movement both in Canada & the US as well as
the substantial increase of government protection vis-a-vis safety in the north American
automobile industry. Approximately 50,000 Corvairs were manufactured in Oshawa from 1960 to
1965.
Page 127 of 18516-Oct-2012
Artifact Full Report
Significance to Technology: Incorporated a number of significant technical innovations: independent rear suspension,
transaxle design, aluminum engine, air cooled engine, rear mounted engine. Corvair was
unique by 1960 standards in terms of cost, design, & weight but had design flaws causing
handling problems & large number of accidents. This is excellent example of first production
style. Ce modèle de voiture compacte avait été introduit par GM pour rivaliser avec les
nouvelles voitures compactes de ses compétiteurs américains, soit la Falcon de Ford, la
Valiant de Chrysler et la Rambler de AMC, ainsi que celles de ses compétiteurs d'outre-mer
tels Volkswagen.

THIS AIRCRAFT FLOWN IN GREATER TORONTO AREA
CanadaOntario
Significance to Canada: The Museum�s machine has the distinction of being the first and only gyroglider to have been
inspected, approved and registered in Canada. It shares a set of interchangeable aluminum rotors
with the Museum�s Bensen B8MG Gyrocopter. It was flown until the early 1980s but logged very
few hours.

Artifact Full Report
Significance to Technology: A number of small gyroplanes have appeared in the recreational aircraft community since
the 1970s. Gyroplanes require specialized pilot training and need to be flown cautiously as
the flight parameter envelope is very narrow. (The gyroplane is a rotary-wing aircraft that
derives its lift from a free-wheeling rotor. See Bensen B8MG Gyrocopter). The Gyroglider
two-seater was designed as a flight trainer by the Bensen Aircraft Corporation to teach the
fundamentals of gyroplane control. The Museum�s example was built and modified in
Toronto by Mr. Alexander Dutkewych.
A small one-cylinder engine pre-rotated the Gyrogliders rotor before takeoff. Towed behind
an automobile at about 45 km/h (28 mph), the machine carrying the instructor and a
student-pilot would reach an altitude of approximately 30 meters (100 ft). Upon towrope
release, the aircraft would descend to the ground in autorotation. Both pilots could
communicate with an intercom

Significance to Canada: An item from a collection of agricultural equipment belonging to Mr. Harley Horner. Mr Horner
was a dairy farmer northeast of Toronto whose farm was purchased in the 1960's or 1970's by
developers of what is now eastern Richmond Hill. He moved to the country further northeast near
Lake Scugog. The artifacts in this lot were either used by Mr. Horner on his own farm or acquired
for his own collection at sales in the Richmond area.
This sign was used by a Canadian retailer to advertise some of its product lines, several of which
were made by such Canadian companies as Massey-Harris, Beatty Brothers and Empire Garden
Tractors.
Morton's were in business in Richmond Hill from approximately 1890 to the late 1960's. This
wooden sign was painted by Benyan Signs of Richmond Hill (another firm which no longer exists).
A staff member for the auction of Mr. Horner's equipment mentioned that Mortson's was a major
landmark on the main street of Richmond Hill die to its huge showroom with a window capable of
accommodating a tractor.
Page 177 of 18516-Oct-2012
Artifact Full Report
Significance to Technology: An example of a agricultural equipment retailer's sign. The number of lines listed on this
Morton's sign is an excellent representation of the state of the business of selling farm
equipment in Canada in the 1940's, in which it was necessary to carry as many lines as
possible in order to maintain one's market share. In Ontario, rural electrification meant that
by the 1940's it was quite profitable to carry electrical equipment such as that manufactured
by Beatty Brothers for use in the barn and home. Unlike many barn equipment suppliers,
Beatty Brothers branched out to sell everything from washing machines to churns, again to
ensure that all important market share. In addition to selling farm equipment produced by a
firm such as Massey-Harris, the rise of market-garden activity to serve Toronto customers
made it also worthwhile to carry small garden tractors such as those built by Empire.
Although they faces stiff competition from Canadian General Electric, Kelvinator refrigerators
were heavily marketed in Canada and in agricultural publications such as the Farmer's
Advocate.

Significance to Canada: Le père de M. Landry, Peter Landry, acheta cette motocyclette à la fin de ses études chez Honda
City Ltd, situé au 4257 de la rue Sainte Catherine Ouest, dans le quartier Westmount à Montréal
pour la somme de $330 (plus $19.80 taxes), qu�il dût emprunter. Il faisait des promenades et du
camping sur l�île de Montréal avec ses amis qui conduisaient également des Honda Cub 50 et
55. Il se promenait également avec sa future épouse, Elizabeth Shaw. Tous deux habitaient alors
les villes de Verdun et de LaSalle sur l�île de Montréal. En 1972, la famille déménagea à Ottawa
puis à Bedford en Nouvelle-Écosse en 1977. La motocyclette servait toujours. La famille fit de
nouveau un court séjour à Kanata, près d�Ottawa de 1979 à 1981 avant de revenir à Bedford
jusqu�en 2004. Leur fils, Dan, commença à l�utiliser alors qu�il avait 17-18 ans. Son entrée à
l�université et par après, sa carrière de militaire naval, forcèrent la mise au rancart de la moto. En
2004, Dan et sa famille déménagèrent à Colorado Springs et y demeurèrent jusqu�en 2007.
Depuis, ils sont retournés à Ottawa. Malgré le fait que la motocyclette n�ait pas été utilisée
pendant ces années, son fonctionnement était toujours vérifié annuellement. La dernière fois eut
lieu en 2005. Importance technologique et contexte canadien : La manufacture de motocyclettes
au Canada n�a jamais été importante en termes de production. Les deux premières firmes
établies en 1903, étaient la Queen City Cycle Co. à Toronto et Canada Cycle and Motor Co. de
Weston, Ontario. En tout, on peut dénombrer quelques 9 compagnies qui oeuvrèrent dans la
manufacture de motocyclettes, la dernière étant Bombardier de 1972 à 1987. Au Canada,
l�approvisionnement en motocyclettes se définissait donc davantage en termes d�importations
�britanniques, allemandes, américaines puis japonaises. Outre la production au pays,
l�utilisation de la motocyclette n�était pas non plus importante et ce, jusqu�au début des années
1960. On assista alors, entre 1963 et 1975, à une croissance importante du nombre des
enregistrements, soit de 37 200 à 326 600, presque neuf fois. Cette croissance peut s�expliquer
par la nouvelle technologie japonaise pour les petits moteurs. Des changements importants
apportés aux petits moteurs 2 temps et 4 temps avaient en effet permis aux petits cylindrés de
rejoindre la puissance de motos de plus grande taille. Ces petits moteurs furent en premier lieu
attachés à une bicyclette conventionnelle ou intégrés dans la roue arrière pour en faire un moteur
roue. Ils furent par la suite intégrés dans un nouveau design de véhicule � le cyclomoteur. Les
firmes japonaises furent particulièrement innovatrices dans ce domaine et offrirent des produits
de haute qualité à bas prix. Ceci explique bien pourquoi les motocyclettes japonaises dominèrent
le marché canadien à compter de 1965. Dans cette lignée, en 1958, Honda présenta son premier
cyclomoteur, le Honda Super Cub qui devint par après tout simplement le Cub. Son nom tire son
origine des premières lettres de Cheap Urban Bike. Le Honda Cub devint le modèle de
motocyclette le plus vendu au monde. Il est l�exemple par excellence de la première production à
grande échelle de motocyclettes après la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale. Un nouveau design de
cadre (open single-spine type) utilisés pour les vélomoteurs et les bicyclettes légères permettaient
de produire des cadres en acier embouti (pressed steel) rapidement et à moindre coût. Le Cub
est encore en production aujourd�hui et l�on estimait en décembre 2005 que sa production avait
atteint les 50 million d�exemplaires depuis son introduction en 1958. Honda Motor Co. Ltd a été
fondée en 1948 par Soichiro Honda, un fils de forgeron. Le premier Cub conçu par Honda en
1952 était en fait un petit moteur de 50cc que l�on attachait à une bicyclette. En 1958, Honda
commença la production des motocyclettes. En 1959, cette firme fut la première parmi les firmes
japonaises à s�introduire sur le marché nord-américain avec ses motocyclettes légères et
moyennes, un marché ignoré par Harley-Davidson. Ce fut le succès. Le modèle C105 offert a été
introduit en 1961 et sa production prit fin à la fin de 1963. Ce modèle de motocyclette était pareil
au modèle C-100 sauf que le moteur était de 54cc. Les couleurs disponibles consistaient en une
combinaison de blanc et rouge, blanc et bleu, noir et blanc ou tout simplement blanc.
Significance to Technology: Motocyclette de petite taille, entre le vélomoteur et le scooter, avec moteur de 54 cc.à un

Significance to Canada: Taken from Acquisition proposal: Quoting from the NRCan web site:
http://www.geod.nrcan.gc.ca/aboutus/gravity/grvinsts_e.php
The Geodetic Survey Division owns and operates two absolute gravity instruments, JILA-2, and
the A-10. It also collaborates with the GSC in the operation of a second instrument, FG5-106. The
JILA-2 was acquired in November, 1985 and FG5-106 in April 1993. The A-10 instrument was
acquired in 2000. The JILA-2 has been upgraded four times since it's acquisition with new
computer control, new lasers, GPS clock and ancillary equipment. These upgrades were
necessary in order to make it more efficient, field worthy, lighter and easier to use. Instrument
modifications and tests are essential for Canada to remain at the leading edge in gravimetry.
Because of their high accuracy of a few parts per billion, the instruments are used to establish,
strengthen and expand the Canadian Gravity Standardization Net. Large calibration ranges are
also established for the purpose of calibrating the complement of relative gravimeters owned by
the Gravity and Geodetic Section. Smaller calibration ranges are maintained for industry so that
companies can evaluate and compare their instruments against the established standard.
Examples are the small calibration ranges between Ottawa and Gananoque and between
Orangeville and Collingwood.
The absolute gravimeters participate on a regular basis in international campaigns and
comparisons in order to maintain the high standards of accuracy required of these instruments.
The two most recent comparisons were done at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures in
Sevres, France, in 2001, and at Boulder, Colorado, USA, in 1995. The BIPM comparisons for
instance occur every four years. Comparisons at the Canadian Absolute Gravity Site (CAGS)
have been carried out every year with some exceptions since 1988 with the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under an MOU.
Significance to Technology: These items have all played a role in Canada's position at the leading edge of gravimetry.
Obviously the leading edge of 30 years ago is no longer the leading edge so NRCan has
upgraded its instruments on a regular basis.
