Yours truly must hereby and heretofore apologise for not having written, last month, any text directly involving the activities of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, a sister / brother institution of the dazzling Canada Aviation and Space Museum, also in Ottawa. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Speaking (typing?) of fault, I also have a confession to make, my reading friend. To my great shame, I must admit that I do not have an ear for music.

The ear phonautograph was a macabre instrument. It was built by Alexander Graham Bell and Clarence J. Blake in 1874, and used a surgically-removed human ear—a skull fragment, ear canal, ear drum, and ossicle bones—to visually “write” sound waves. It worked like this: the surgically-removed ear was first attached to the top bracket of the instrument by a bolt driven through the skull fragment. It was then tightened in place with a thumbscrew.

Sigh… What do children learn in school these days? You do realise that, by forcing me to explain who William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) and Reuben Garrett Lucius “Rube” Goldberg (1883-1970)

The majority of Ingenium’s locomotives and rolling stock collection are not currently on public display and most likely will never be due to their size, weight, and maneuverability. New technologies and digital tools, however, create opportunities for these rail artifacts to be seen and accessed by a wider audience. With this in mind, I created a virtual tour that brings together 360 images, artifact histories, archival material, sound, and other Ingenium projects to tell the story of rail
