Victoreen Condenser r-Meter Model 70 Radiation Dosimeter
Manufactured by Victoreen Instrument Company in Cleveland, Ohio c.1945
Canada Museum of Science and Technology
Artifact no. 1998.0198
This is a great picture because it encapsulates the themes of paranoia, invasion, and secrecy that are associated with the Cold War. The briefcase that the Victoreen Model 70 was carried in had a lock on it that would imply several things. First it implies that the AECL wanted very few people to have access to this (secrecy). Second, it implies that the dosimeter was relatively easy to use because they were afraid of just anyone getting their hands on it. Lastly, it implies that it was very valuable and they couldn't afford to lose it. Also, notice the rust on the lock. This implies that it was genuine and that it was used often.
Back to Macedon in June, 2010. Looking east, down into the south chamber and across toward the lengthened north chamber of Enlarged Lock # 60. Located in a small park near O'Neill Road in Macedon, NY.
Some of the lock doors are hydraulic, as this one is, and some are mechanical, driven by a rack and pinion.
Cheap lock + expensive bike = not good combo. I just saw this on my way to class. The lock is attached to the end of the break cable and a guide wire for the tree.

Hi! Although this probably happens a lot, it is rarely captured on film!
I thought you'd enjoy the story and pictures!

this has a happy ending for the survivor!
Locked Horns
On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to
Canton, South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down.
It wasn't moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly,
he wouldn't raise his head.
She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck's horns were
entangled with those of another one, which was dead. So she called us and asked if
we wanted an adventure -- untangling the animals!
Well, we went, pronto!!! I took my camera and we walked right up to them.
They were tangled in an old fence line just east of a golf course, where some railroad tracks had been. The live buck was on the high side, and the dead buck on the slope. The other buck had been dead for 2 or 3 days, we estimated.
Terry attempted to break a point off the dead buck's rack with his pliers, but couldn't. He tried turning the dead buck's head but the other one just became more frightened and started backing up.
The live buck had the bigger rack - a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more "stickers" on its rack.
The now scared buck eventually got out of the fence, and out in the open.
Terry pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks
loose, but it didn't work.
We finally decided to go to a friend's house in order to borrow his chainsaw,
but then we thought something quieter would be better,
and so got a hacksaw instead.
Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!
The buck didn't realize this for probably 30 seconds or so.
When he did, he started striking the dead buck in the face repeatedly.
He finally raised his head a little, and then a little more.
He stood there with his head held high looking at both of us and we
wondered if he were going to try charging us too!
Then he turned and ran off rather wobbly.
He went a short distance, lay down briefly,
and then got up and took off in the direction of the Big Sioux River.
Terry and Sherry, thanks for the great story and photos,
and for setting the big guy free!

GO COUGS
Travis asked a neighbour of the property, and apparently the adjacent building uses it for parking. We joked that as far as empty lots go, that was a might fine one and if I owned it, I'd lock it up too.

An interesting game called 'Ball Bashing'... Two people run fast at each other with an exercise ball between them. This is in the brief moments post-impact, you can actually see the ball's deformity.
