451 | Jack at what appears to be a logging railroad station. I say "appears" because of the general appearance and the dress of the lads in the distance. Jack makes mention of the Franklin River Camp in the notes (flimsy) he had stuck in this album. Franklin River is on the south side of the Alberni Canal in British Columbia. The canal (really an inlet, not man made) runs inland from Vancouver Island's west coast and terminates in Port Alberni, BC almost bisecting the island. |

454 | "The Pachena O.I.C., Colin Kennedy, had many fine qualities.
He was also a good machinist and had brought his small lathe to the
station." Quoted from Jack Bowerman's narrative. This photo may well be that lathe at Pachena Point. Note the foot treadle used to spin the chuck. |

455 | Anyox B.C. This was a large mine and smelter settlement north of Prince Rupert. It is a ghost town today. Its only link with the outside world was by wireless. This shows the operating position, operated by Jack MacDonald. The tube equipment shown here replaced the spark equipment, probably in the late 1920's. |

456 | Engine Room--I suspect is at Barrington Passage Wireless, N.S. This image came off an album page, three of the four photos were obviously at Barrington, plus this photo. So far as I know, horizontal engines were not used on the B.C. coast stations. |
