376 | Radio Equipment. Name plate above wheel says "Closed
Circuit Inductance". The rest is illegible. Motor
sitting on top of left hand rack drives a push rod which varies
something in each rack, and rack(s) to the left. There is a
solenoid operated switch mounted on the wall. It appears to
switch the one antenna (one wall feed through) between equipment in
the room. Professional photo so may have been from a sales brochure. Oddly there are some similarities between this photo and #360--the ceiling lamp, insulators and the circular equipment handle. |
 |
377 | Radio Room at the Anyox Mine in British Columbia. Station
opened in 1915. Jack Macdonald, pictured, was in charge of the
station for the 19 years it was in operation. Spark transmitter
controls on left wall. This same photo appears in the BC
Archives site as Call Number I-55500, but is mis-identified. Located at N55.416 W129.816 in Observatory Inlet. |
 |
378 | It just says "battery room" on the back. But it looks more like a spark transmitter high tension room. Not a synchronous spark transmitter though, as the rotary gap isn't connected directly to the generator. |
 |
379 | Big engine room someplace. Notice the big fly wheel is spinning (no spokes visible). Bowerman's flimsies say 'power house (Smithers?)'. Could be Basil Irvine on the left. Engine is three cylinder job. |
 |
380 | Scene from a Cariboo area inspection trip. Could be up around Hazelton. |
 |
381 | Plane prang. Note survivors on Vickers aircraft hull. |
 |
382 | Plane prang. |
 |
383 | Photo of aircraft before accident. Hull number is 108. Note that rowboat is the same in photo 382. The Vickers aircraft where quite popular in the Canadian Air Force around this time. |
 |
384 | More plane prang. Actually there are two separate crashes photographed on this page as two different hull numbers in evidence: Canadian Air Force 108 & 115 |
 |
385 |
Hoisting aircraft #115 up. Mr.
G.Williams supplies this information: See also photos 391 & 392 below. |
 |
386 | Basil Irvine, Radio Inspector on the left. Unknown lady on the right. |
 |
387 | Hull on the beach someplace. |
 |
388 | Inspection tour up in Chilcotin area. |
 |
389 | This flimsy is in Bowerman's handwriting, very small penmanship. It contains notes for the photos within that particular album. |
 |
390 | Ditto |
 |
391 | Plane prang. Aircraft under tow. |
 |
392 | Aircraft 115 in an awkward position. The aircraft has been modified to be amphibious with the addition of some crank down front landing gear. Note the crescent shaped guides for the wheel assembly. |
 |
393 | Taken during one of Bowerman's inspection trips into BC's interior. This was taken at 70 Mile House Hotel. The old road up the center of the British Columbia interior measured distance north from Lytton as mile 0. The person standing next to the car appears to be Bowerman, although the vehicle itself doesn't appear to be his since it doesn't have a direction finding loop on the roof. |
 |
394 | Point Grey station housing. Note Vancouver School of Theology tower in background. |
 |
395 | Point Grey Station operations building. |
 |
396 | Unknown. Chaps on the left of the tree stump have military caps on. Land is pretty flat. Could be from Bowerman's time at Morely, Alberta, where he spent time researching ways of fitting radio equipment into aircraft. Large hand saw is lying across stump. |
 |
397 | Small station someplace. Transmitter contains vacuum tubes so time frame is sometime after 1920. On the table, at the extreme right of the photo, is a bit of a receiver cabinet. (During the years 1923 to 1926 a radio station was built at Lennard Island Light Station-just outside of Tofino. An operator by the name of Carver operated the station.) |
 |
398 | Album plate--applicable photos edited off and appear elsewhere on site. |
 |
399 | Point Grey (Vancouver) wireless station antenna farm view. |
 |
400 | Point Grey wireless station. |
