This is part two of an ongoing Channel series that follows Ingenium’s reconstruction of the 1948 Electronic Sackbut, better known as the world’s first synthesizer. Today we’ll look

Hello there, my reading friend. Given the less than balmy weather in a certain northern corner of the northern hemisphere of planet Earth, yours truly thought that a topic like the one on offer today, in this edition of our heart warming blog / bulletin / thingee, would be most appropriate indeed. Let us begin with a quote, which consists of the brief text which accompanied the photograph above.

Greetings, my faithful reading friend. Yours truly is indeed happy that you agreed to join me in our examination of the second flight impact simulator of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, a national museum located in Ottawa, Ontario. That impressive device was put together by Fairey Canada Limited of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Although not a major player in the Canadian aircraft industry, that firm was one of the major players in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia during the 1950s and 1960s

Good day to you, my assiduous reading friend. Are you ready to drink from the fount of knowledge otherwise known as our blog / bulletin / thingee? Good for you. Let us continue our investigation of the bird impact research work done in Ottawa, Ontario, by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). To do that, we will have to put on our seven decade boots, our nine decade boots actually, and travel back in time to the year 1930. The Engine Laboratory of the Division of Mechanical Engineering
