Fossmobile. The Fossmobile was Canada’s first successful internal combustion, gasoline engine automobile. Manufactured by George Foote Foss in 1897, only one Fossmobile is known to have existed.

History

The Fossmobile was designed and manufactured by George Foote Foss. He owned his own shop in Sherbrooke, Quebec, offering machining, blacksmithing, and bicycle repair. He became interested in automobiles after riding in an electric brougham while visiting Boston, Massachusetts. During the winter of 1896, Foss worked on a four-horsepower, single-cylinder automobile that he completed in the spring of 1897. The vehicle was the first of its kind to be built in Canada.  

Foss drove his car in and around Sherbrooke, Quebec for four years. He later moved to Montreal, Quebec, where the car sat idle for a year before he sold it for $75 in 1902. Foss had previously turned down an offer to partner with Henry Ford from the Ford Motor Company. He turned down the offer as he believed Ford's vehicle to be inferior to the Fossmobile. He also turned down financial backing to mass produce the Fossmobile, citing his inexperience to do so.

Vehicle specifications

The "Fossmobile," as it was later dubbed, was different from other automobiles that were being built, as it had a front mounted engine. Other automobile designers had placed their engines centered and beneath the seat. The Fossmobile's front mounted engine made maintenance easier and produced considerably less upward vibration through the seat. The gear shifter for the Fossmobile was mounted directly on the tiller style steering column, something that was not done by other manufacturers for another 40 years. The vehicle could travel up to 15 MPH (24 km per hour) and climb any of Sherbrooke's steep hills.

(Tribute) Replica
A (tribute) replica Fossmobile was built in time for the 125th anniversary, by a team in Burlington, Ontario, spearheaded by Foss's grandson Ronald M. Foss. It was shown in Sherbrooke, Quebec, and again at the Cobble Beach Concours l'Elegance in Kemble, Ontario, before being donated by the family to the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, Ontario in December 2022.

British Deperdussin Seagull. The Deperdussin Seagull was a seaplane developed by the British Deperdussin Company which was the English subsidiary of French company Société Pour les Appareils Deperdussin.

Design and development 
In early 1912, Frederick Koolhoven was hired by Deperdussin and joined the staff of Louis Bechereau, the designer of the various Deperdussin monocoque aircraft. By the summer of 1912, he had been promoted and sent to England to oversee the design and development of the British Deperdussin Company aircraft.

The Seagull was a tractor monoplane with a monocoque fuselage construction. Instead of using wires and turnbuckles to brace the wings, which was the common practice of the time, the Seagull's wings were braced with a truss that traveled under the fuselage from wingtip to wingtip. The designers claimed that this arrangement was no heavier than the typical wire bracing and it offered better rigidity to the wings

The wings were covered in a fabric that was designed to contain any damage caused by bullet holes. The fabric was reinforced by bunches of strong threads run through the material at right angles to form squares. If damage was done to a square, the threads would prevent the damage from leaving the square.

Lateral control was achieved with wing warping and a movable rudder attached to the trailing edge of the vertical fin. A movable elevator attached to the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer was used for pitch control.

The landing gear consisted of a short, wide main float with two teardrop shaped floats attached to the tips of the wing truss. The tail float was aerodynamically shaped to provide lift to offset the weight of the float.

Operational history 
The Seagull was developed as a competitor for an Admiralty requirement for a reconnaissance seaplane. The Admiralty ordered two, but the poor performance of the prototype led to the cancellation of the order. This, combined with the War Office's ban on monoplanes, spelled the end for the further development of the Seagull.

Richard Mattson. Richard Lewis Mattson (born May 29, 1935) is an American computer scientist known for his pioneering work on using memory trace data to simulate the performance of the memory hierarchy. He developed the stack distance profile, and used it to model page misses in virtual memory systems as a function of the amount of real memory available. The same methods have been applied as well more recently for modeling the behavior of CPU caches at lower levels of the memory hierarchy, and of web caches for internet content.

Mattson was born in Greeley, Colorado.
He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1957, with honors in electrical engineering.
He became a student of Bernard Widrow at Stanford University, where he completed his doctorate in 1962. His dissertation was The Analysis and Synthesis of Adaptive Systems Which Use Networks of Threshold Elements. He then became a faculty member at Stanford himself, before moving to IBM Research in 1965. While at Stanford, he supervised two doctoral students, John Hopcroft and Yale Patt, both of whom themselves became notable computer scientists, and he has many academic descendants through both of them.

Kilbourne and Jacobs Manufacturing Co.. Kilbourne and Jacobs Manufacturing Company was founded in 1881 by James Kilbourne and HL Jacobs in Columbus, Ohio with an initial investment of $100,000. Built in close proximity to Union Station, the company produced wheelbarrows, horse-drawn railroad scrapers and other earth-moving equipment during the turn of the century. Several years after opening, the company developed a line of hand trucks, forty percent of which were sold to the New York Central Railroad. By the end of the 19th century, Kilbourne and Jacobs was the largest manufacturer of earth-moving equipment in the United States. The Ohio State Journal reported in 1890 that the company produced approximately 150,000 hand trucks per year with between 400-600 workers, pushing annual sales to nearly $1 million.

The company went bankrupt in 1923 and was acquired by the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company.

PS Enterprise. PS Enterprise is an 1878 Australian paddle steamer, currently owned by the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. It is still operational, and one of the oldest working paddle steamers in the world. It is listed on the Australian Register of Historic Vehicles.

Enterprise is built from river red gum wood; the engine is a two-cylinder single expansion steam engine made by the Beverley Iron and Wagon Company in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England in 1877. The original boiler was replaced in 1988. It is  long,  wide, and  high (from waterline). It has a shallow draft of , allowing it to cope with the low water levels of the Australian rivers, and a maximum speed of .

Enterprise was built in Echuca by William Keir between 1876 and 1878, and initially owned by his family, until they sold it in 1893. It changed hands several times over the years, and has been used as a cargo ship (towing barges), a store, a fishing boat and a houseboat, operating on the Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee Rivers. From 1919 until 1945 it was owned by Augustus Creager, who, with his wife Hilda, raised a family of five children living on board.

In 1973, amidst a general renewed interests in steamboats, Enterprise was restored by enthusiast Graeme Niehus and his father, and subsequently raced against other paddle boats.

The National Museum of Australia bought Enterprise in 1984 and further restored it, including replacing the boiler. In 1988, as part of the Australian Bicentenary celebrations, it was recommissioned on Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. It was opened to the public in January 1989.

On 4 December 1993 Enterprise was temporarily recommissioned as HMA PS Enterprise of the Royal Australian Navy and allowed to fly the White Ensign for the day, as part of the Navy's Maritime Pageant.

Enterprise is operated by the museum  it is the largest functional object in the museum's collection  and crewed by volunteers. It undergoes regular maintenance and occasional restoration work.

Symbolic Assembly Program. The Symbolic Assembly Program (SAP) is an assembler program for the IBM 704 computer. It was written by Roy Nutt at United Aircraft Corporation, and was distributed by the SHARE user's group beginning in 1956 as the Share Assembly Program. SAP succeeded an earlier program called NYAP1 (New York Assembly Program 1), which it closely resembled, and became the standard assembler for 704 users. It "set the external form of an assembly language that was to be a model for all its successors and which persists almost unchanged to the present day."

DARSIMCO, short for Dartmouth Simplified Code, was a simple programming language written by John Kemeny (who later co-developed BASIC) in 1956 that expanded simple mathematical operations into a program that would then be assembled by SAP.

Description
SAP is a two-pass assembler. It is capable of running on a 704 with a minimum of 4 K 36-bit words of core storage. This configuration allows up to 1097 entries in the symbol table. Additional core memory beyond 4 KW can be used to allow for additional symbol table entries.

Input and output for SAP are via punched cards or card images on tape. Input is in fixed format.

Input format

Output format
Output consists of absolute or relocatable punched cards or card images. The output is binary data in the twelve card rows 12, 11, and 0–9. Each row contains two 36-bit words in columns 1-36 and 37-72, indicated as left (L) and right (R) respectively. Data is conventionally numbered by row and position, for example, columns 1 to 36 of row 9 are designated 9L, columns 37 to 72 of the same row are 9R. Within a word the bits are designated, from left to right as S (sign bit) and 1-35, thus bit position 13 of the left word in row 6 is designated 6L13.

Word 9L of each card is a control word, and 9R is an optional checksum. The control word contains bits indicating, for example, whether the data on the card is absolute or relocatable, whether or not a checksum is present, the absolute or nominal location of data on this card, and a count of the number of words of data contained on this card.

SLJ900/32. The SLJ900/32 or otherwise known as the Iron Monster is a superheavy launching gantry and one of the largest and most ubiquitous in the world. At over 90 meters in length, the SLJ900/32 is also one of the world's longest terrestrial vehicles. It is built by the Beijing Wowjoint Machinery Company and designed by the Shijiazhuang Railway Design Institute.

Description

The SLJ900/32 as aforementioned, is  long,  wide,  tall and weighs around . Compared to conventional cranes which require clear land and are typically only able to lift a few meters of bridge material per-lift, the SLJ900/32 is capable of lifting an entire large segment of bridging material (some of which weigh around 800 to 950 tons) in a relatively compact manner without the hassle of interference such as trees or rocks.

Construction process is done via the vehicle picking up a new pre-cast section of concrete underneath its "belly" and carrying it all the way from the very edge of the bridge to the installation point, where it will be connected to a predetermined pillar. Then, using a pneumatic structure, the machine is moored to the first pillar to extend to the second one, anchoring to it, and places the beam. The process would repeat itself until the bridge's foundations are completed.

The vehicle moves on a large 64x wheel drive system, which in itself is divided into four sections of 16 wheels each (forming two trucks, one at each end). Each of the sections can rotate up to 90 degrees allowing the machine to drive sideways for efficiency when picking up beams. The vehicle can maintain a top speed of  unloaded, and  carrying a bridge segment.

Each vehicle's operational life is capable of building up to 730 spans before retiring.
