Streamlined Locomotive

Profile picture for user National Research Council Canada
National Research Council Canada
Nov 2, 2015
In the 1930s, National Research Council of Canada engineering helped to launch a new generation of streamlined locomotives. A sleek design grew out of an NRC project to improve the efficiency of locomotives and prevent smoke from obscuring the engineer’s view from the cab. Reduced visibility was a serious safety issue, so Canadian National Railways (CNR) turned to NRC for a solution. Engineers used NRC’s new wind tunnel to test existing locomotive models and experiment with alternate designs

IMAX Corporation first captured the world’s attention with sharp, large-format films at Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan. The IMAX® projector changed movie-goers’ expectations of spectacular wide-screen films when it debuted in Japan in 1970. IMAX® used an innovative film-transport mechanism to quickly and smoothly advance a 70-mm large-format film through the projector. This film carried an image ten times the size of the standard 35-mmmovie format, making it the largest frame in film history. As a

Electric refrigerators changed the way Canadians stored, prepared, and consumed food. Before electric refrigerators, Canadians used root cellars and ice-boxes to preserve their food. In the 1920s, domestic electric refrigerators, or fridges, came onto the market as electrical distribution networks spread across Canada. Fridges used exposed belt-driven compressors to cool food, and resembled ice-boxes in their design; they were also expensive and noisy. Canadian General Electric, a subsidiary of

“Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you.” With these words to assistant Thomas Watson (in the next room) on March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first ever telephone call. Bell solved the problem of turning human speech into electrical impulses, and converting them back into audible speech. Brantford, Ontario: First Long Distance Tests While Bell made this first call in his Boston laboratory, the first tests over long distances were made in August 1876 over telegraph wires near his

North America’s First Electron Microscope The sub-microscopic world became visible in 1938 when Canadian graduate students Albert Prebus and James Hillier revealed North America’s first electron microscope. With a 20,000-power magnification, the microscope transcended the limits of light-based microscopy and brought otherwise invisible structures and objects into sharp focus. A massive discovery on a microscopic level Prebus and Hillier were members of the University of Toronto’s physics

Thumb Typing Makes its Debut The RIM 950 BlackBerry® pager accelerated Internet communications when it was introduced in 1999. Featuring a unique keyboard layout, the handheld device functioned as a pager, email device, and personal organizer. Suddenly, people were furiously thumb-typing on their devices, which made a distinctive click-clack sound. Incorporating a wireless modem, the BlackBerry® pager was always “on,” which allowed users to receive messages on the go without having to dial into
