Title A name given to the resource Crabtree rule Subject The topic of the resource survey instrument Description An account of the resource This Parallel Line Rule is a heavy-weighted object, suitable for life on flat surfaces. All of its part are made of brass, which is a sturdy and relatively inexpensive material. The rule is slightly tarnished but has no discernible damage. This would suggest it was a desk object and well taken care of. It was made by H.S. Crabtree around 1930, and was eventually collected by famed Canadian surveyor Louis Sebert who collected older, non-technical objects for nostalgic purposes. In 2003 Sebert's wife handed the instrument to the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa where it has been ever since.

Title A name given to the resource Illustration of an "Engineer's level" Subject The topic of the resource Instructional books - Land surveying equipment and procedures Description An account of the resource This is an image of an "engineer's level" found in a J.B. Johnson book from 1889. The design, while distinct in some ways from the McLatchie level, is remarkably similar to it in many of its structural features. It has not been determined whether McLatchie's instrument is a water or spirit level (it had an amber-coloured liquid inside its bubble tube). Furthermore, the book from which this diagram has been taken was found in a 'John McLatchie' collection being preserved by the Canadian Science and Technology Museum, and the similarity in time period and instrument style emphasizes the similarity between this representation and the instrument prepared by James Foster.

Title A name given to the resource Foster level Subject The topic of the resource Canadian surveying instruments Description An account of the resource This is a surveying level produced by James Foster, an instrument maker based in Toronto, Canada. The apparatus also includes a wooden tripod, upon which the level was placed when taking measurements. This artifact was in the possession of John McLatchie, a well-established professional land surveyor in nineteenth-century Canada, and was passed down through his family descendants to a relative residing in Ottawa, Canada. Physically, this level appears to be made almost entirely of brass, which has been painted either to a dark brown or gold color. The object also includes a telescope and a 'bubble tube,' both of which were integral to the surveying process. The level's connection with McLatchie suggests possible implications for its past use in notable surveys across Canada (i.e.: Ottawa valley, Manitoba, British Columbia, etc.) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource James Foster Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived John McLatchie Collection (780715-780753), Canadian Science and Technology Museum.
