Hello there, my reading friend. Are you ready to be submerged by waves of pontificating prose? That’s too bad because you will not get that today. Yours truly was sure there was plenty of information on the mechanic’s stethoscope we just saw in an ad published in the June 1928 issue of a long forgotten magazine, the British monthly Air. Sadly enough, I struck out. So, let’s go over the basics. Back in the 1910s and 1920s, listening to a misbehaving piece of machinery was one of the most

Good day / buongiorno / bonjour, my reading friend. You may wonder what a scooter lifted off the pages of the 10 August 1958 issue of a Montréal, Québec, weekly, Le Petit Journal, is doing in our blog / bulletin / thingee. I respectfully respond to this observation by pointing out that there is more to life than airplanes. This being said (typed?), the subject that concerns us this week has a small aeronautical element, but enough twaddle, let us move into the heart of the matter. Allied to

Ottawa resident Elaine Wolfe was undoubtedly thinking about her late father, Clifford Wolfe, as she visited the Moving Stories exhibition at the Canada Science and Technology Museum last week. The temporary exhibition – which showcases some rarely-seen artifacts from the museum’s transportation collection – includes Elaine’s 1988 Chevy Blazer, outfitted with an innovative wheelchair lift that was invented by her dad when she was a young adult. “Calling my first truck an artifact is making me

Greetings, my reading friend, yours truly who has worked very hard salutes you. To my great shame, I must confess to having once again strayed from the righteous aeronautical and spatial right that leads to a happy and carefree retirement. Our topic for this week has indeed nothing to do with the fields of activity of my employer, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum of Ottawa, Ontario. Verily I say to you, I must confess to have been intrigued by the photo above, as fuzzy as it is, which

Hello there, my reading friend, and welcome to the first 2019 issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee on the wonderful world of aviation and space, and… What’s this? You do not think that an air cushion caravan fits the mandate of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum of Ottawa, Ontario? I respectfully beg to differ. This unlikely hybrid did lift off the ground, did it not? Besides, you can’t tell me that you are not the least bit intrigued by the image yours truly dredged up from the January 1969

What’s this, my reading friend? You wonder why our blog / bulletin / thingee, dedicated as it is to all things aeronautical and spacey, is once again dealing with something as mundane and boring as an automobile? Well, for starters, yours truly was intrigued by the presence of a photo of a Soviet automobile in a catholic newspaper from Québec, Québec, namely L’Action catholique. Was 1 February 1959, the day when said photo was published, a slow news day? We shall never know. In any event, the

How do you move a library and archives? Very carefully. As Ingenium’s archivist, a big part of my role lately has been to prepare for a major move to the Collections Conservation Centre — scheduled for completion later this year. If you live in Ottawa, you may have noticed the construction site right next to the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Ingenium staff will soon begin moving with two museum collections into the new building. Among the collections to move are the library and archival
