- Description
- The index typewriter consists of a circular, rotatable metal disk, which is mounted on a red metal component. The metal components of the typewriter which hold the paper in place and advance the cartridge forward are mounted on a rectangular wooden base, which is painted red. The cartridge is mounted along the back edge of the red wooden base. The various metal components of the typewriter are painted black, red, or green.The outer rim of the rotatable disk contains the “keys”, which are made of a soft rubber. When the key that is oriented at the top-center of the disk is pressed down, it produces that letter or character onto the paper. Also, when a button is pressed, a device pushes the cartridge forward one space, so that the next letter/character can be typed. Each button is labeled with a corresponding letter/character in black ink around the edge. The letters are all in capitals, and are not in alphabetical order. The letters appear on the disk in the following order: “C J P F U B L W T H E R O I A N D G S K Y M Q V X Z”. The characters labeled on the disk then proceed in following order: “, . - ? $ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 &”Underneath the rubber buttons, also following the curvature of the disk, reads: “GERMAN PATENT NO. XXXX” (X = the number is unreadable); “FRENCH PATENT NO. 269727”; “OTHER FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC PATENTS PENDING”; “UNITED STATES PATENT MARCH 21 1899(?)”; “BRITISH PATENT NO. 1XXX1” (X = the number is unreadable).The center of the disk is painted red, with a green circular boarder. The top of this area reads: “SPECIAL”. In the very center of this area reads: “Simplex TRADEMARK Typewriter” in white letters on a green banner. Underneath this banner is a red “1”, which is enclosed in a black circle. Beneath this, in black ink, it reads: “MANUFACTUERS AND PATENTS,” “SIMPLEX TYPEWRITER CO., COR.FIRST AVE.AND 37TH ST.,NEW YORK.U.S.A.”The metal disk can be lifted upwards, so that it becomes almost vertical, in order for paper to be loaded into the typewriter.On the cartridge along the back edge of the wooden base is a white measuring strip, labeled 0-64 (going up by 2’s) in black ink, with black vertical lines denoting measurements (1 cm = 4 units of measure on strip, therefore, the 64 units of measure on the strip correspond with 16cm).

The numbers “0”, “5”, “10”, “15”, “20”, “25” are denoted around the circumference of the timer-face. Between the “0” and the “5”, there is an arrow pointing in the clockwise direction. A small piece of white triangular tape has been affixed to the face of the timer at the 2-minute mark. In the center of the timer-face is a black, metal mechanism and pointer with three knobs – one of which contains the text “LIFT UP” engraved into it. A small piece of white triangular tape has also been affixed to the tip of the pointer. Beneath this mechanism on the face of the timer is the text “MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY. ROCHESTER, NEW YORK”. The words “EASTMAN” “INTERVAL” “TIMER” “MODEL-B” also appears on an angle in each corner of the timer-face.On the back of the timer, there are two sets of three triangularly oriented vents on the viewer left and right sides; and there is a hole in the centre of the viewer-top so that the timer could be hung on a wall if desired. In the centre of the back face, there is text that has been engraved into the metal which reads: “PATENTS APPLIED FOR”. Beneath this, there is a silver, oval sticker with a black border and black text that reads: “SOLE IMPORTER INTO CANADA CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED TORONTO” On the bottom of the timer’s base, there is raised text that reads “4414”; above this, there is a raised logo containing the text, “DOEHLER” within it. There is also an “X” that has been drawn onto the view-left side with pencil.

- One red-painted Trulite kerosene lantern. The lantern’s glass is a “short globe” one, a design that emerged around 1913 that made the globe easier to clean and less likely to crack. This lantern is possibly one of the earlier Trulite designs as its chimney lifts up away from the globe instead of down, a feature that proved unpopular and was quickly fazed out. In addition to the rising chimney, the globe can also be rotated to the side by pulling a small lever. Inside the globe are two unused wicks, one of which is free-floating. “MADE IN CANADA” is molded into the globe and “Trulite” is faintly visible on the chimney.

NEW YORK ‘1925’” and on the wide rim below that is “A.C.L” - meaning that this lantern belonged to the Atlantic Coast Line railroad of Southeastern United States. The body of the lantern is surrounded by a thick wire cage onto which the carry handle is also attached. The lantern’s chimney lifts away from the globe on a hinge, revealing a used wick inside - the wick can be lowered or raised by turning a small round key in the lower part of the lantern. The red glass would have been used by rail lines to signal a stop or danger on the track before the introduction of wireless radio communication.

The lower compartment contains the main power outlet (there is a secondary power cord that connects the projector to the base) and possibly provides ventilation. The upper projector has “Leitz” written in silver cursive on the side and the base has a metal tag attached to the middle of the back panel that indicates that part may have been made in New York. The projector is open at the top to allow access to the interior lenses and socket for the lightbulb. There is also an additional lens housed inside a hollow rectangular metal box that can be inserted into the opening to further focus the light through the lens. The exterior lens itself also has 2 (two) metal rods that stick out perpendicular to the box onto which additional focussing lenses and the slide holders can be attached. In addition to the projector boxes there are also 2 (two) metal attachments that look like they slide onto the metal rods (possibly housing for additional lenses), 2 (two) silver metal slide holders that can house 2 (two) slides at once (one has a copper plate that can slide down to cover the opening where light passes through), 2 (two) “General Electric Projection Lamp” lightbulbs in their boxes, a black Leitz-Hektor zoom lens, an extra lens in a cardboard box with “Ubiku für Objoktiv 16.5-12-13.5 cm” stamped on the lid, and 2 (two) instruction manuals for the projector.
