Wayne from Vancouver Daily Photo was visiting Seattle today, and we took a ride to the Chinese Room observation deck in historic Smith Tower (which you've seen here and here). This was one of the operators of the cool old elevators with their grilled gates and all brass fixtures.

The official groundbreaking ceremony for the Toronto–York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE) was held on November 27, 2009; however, tunnelling operations did not commence until June 2011. The project, including York University station, was initially expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2015 but was delayed to the fourth quarter of 2016;ultimately, the station opened on December 17, 2017.
The first stage of construction for the station began in May 2011. On October 11, 2011, one of the geostructural drilling rigs on site collapsed and killed Kyle Knox, an operator working for a contractor on the project, Anchor Shoring. The incident injured five other workers.
Before the extension opened, more than 1,400 Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses served the campus every weekday at the York University Bus Loop, in addition to hundreds more from regional services; GO Transit, York Region Transit (YRT), Brampton Transit's Züm, and Greyhound. The arrival of the subway resulted in a greatly reduced number of buses entering campus as the 196 York University Rocket bus route was eliminated and other routes such as the 195 Jane Rocket (now 935 Jane Express) and 199B Finch Rocket (now 939B Finch Express) were altered to terminate at Pioneer Village and Finch West stations instead, leaving only the 41 Keele and 106 Sentinel routes servicing the university grounds directly. Züm buses are the only regional buses still serving the campus today.
This station, along with the five other TYSSE stations, were the first to be opened without collectors, although booths were installed as per original station plans. It was also among the first eight stations to discontinue sales of legacy TTC fare media (tokens and tickets). Presto vending machines were available at its opening to sell Presto cards and to load funds or monthly passes onto them. On May 3, 2019, this station became one of the first ten stations to sell Presto tickets via Presto vending machines.
Wally Carruthers, a well-known Canadian supplier and rental operator and prominent figure in the Ontario Canadian Rental Association, passed away on Nov. 15 at the age of 89. Carruthers was perhaps best known as a representative for Kango power tools. He was predeceased by his wife, Audrey Mae.
Carruthers was recognized in August 2011 Canadian Rental Service as one of ten industry influencers. Here is the 2011 item:
Company: Carruthers Rental, Kango
Location: Barrie, Ont. Years in rental: 40
Sectors served: Construction, DIY, lawn and garden
“Most people are in sales first, then go into business. I was a businessman first, then I went into sales.” According to Wally Carruthers, that was the secret of his success as a supplier of power tools and accessories to the Ontario rental industry. That, all the many friends he made both on the road and in his long involvement with the Ontario C.R.A. “Joining the R.A.C. was the most important business decision I ever made,” he says.
Even in an industry full of entertaining personalities, Carruthers stands out. Whenever he tells a story about someone with a foreign accent, he imitates the accent perfectly. In a one-hour conversation with Canadian Rental Service, he did Newfie, Irish, Scottish, British and Swedish and nailed them all. He has dozens of funny and unusual stories from the industry, most of which he was directly involved with. One of his friends made up $50 bills with Carruthers’ face on them, and he got a laugh wherever he went handing those out.
The most valuable thing Carruthers has taken away from his time in the rental business is a long list of friends he remembers fondly. The late Danny Cameron of Atlantic Rentals was one of his special favourites, and he enjoys telling the story of the Alberta regional show where Casey Jones hired a train to take attend-ees to see the glacier in Jasper, and Cameron woke everyone up at 6 a.m. playing the bagpipes. “There was a piano on board and lots of singing,” Carruthers remembers, “which was great for me because I was in a barbershop group.”
Carruthers collaborated with Peter Watkins, the founder of Canadian Rental Service, to launch the first Canadian Rental Mart. “He stopped by my house on his way to the cottage,” Carruthers remembers, “and started asking me if I thought the Rental Mart would be a good idea. I liked it and took it to the board [of the Ontario CRA]. They didn’t like it much at first, but we put it to a vote and it got passed.”
This is the official obituary:
Passed away peacefully at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre, Barrie, ON on Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at the age of 89. Loving husband of 65 years, to the late Audrey Mae (McLean). Predeceased by parents Issac John and Daisy Margaret (Coutts) and brother Lorne Gordon. Loved father of Wendy Booey (Hal) and Scott (Catherine). Loving grandfather of Amber, Sarah (Jeff), Preston and Troy. Beloved great-grandfather (GG) to Colton. Lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Wally was born in Barrie and was passionately involved in his community serving as a long standing member of Rotary, Probus and Kerr Masonic Lodge No. 230. As a sports enthusiast, Wally’s contributions led him to become a Barrie Sports Hall of Fame inductee. Wally was a respected businessman both owning and operating several businesses in the area, including Carruthers Cartage and Carruthers Rent-All.
Visitation will be held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 47 Owen St., Barrie, on Friday, December 2, 2016 from 7:00 to 9:00pm. A celebration of Wally’s life will take place at the church on Saturday, December 3 at 11:00am followed by a reception. Memorial donations may be made to the Lung Association or St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. A special thank you to those who supported Wally throughout his declining health and who were involved in his care. Arrangements entrusted to MARSHALL W.

From Wikipedia -
Hyster is an American manufacturing company specializing in forklifts and other materials-handling equipment. Hyster was founded in 1929 as the Willamette-Ersted Company in Portland, Oregon. The company was purchased in 1989 by NACCO Industries, Inc. and became a part of NACCO Materials Handling Group (NMHG) which continues to market products under the Hyster brand name today.
The name "Hyster" allegedly derives from a term commonly used by logging workers in the Pacific Northwest at the end of the 19th century. When a load of lumber was ready to be transported, a logger would yell "Hoist 'er!". According to the Hyster Company web page, this term became synonymous with Hyster trucks.
Distribution and support for Hyster products is organized around major world regions: North America and Canada; Latin America; Europe the Middle East & Africa; Asia – Pacific.
Hyster also manufactured a very successful line of compaction machinery and road rollers including machines for earth compaction, garbage compaction and asphalt compaction. Through the 1960s and 1970s Hyster was a major force in these types of machinery in America and they produced a wide range of models with many successful design concepts. Hyster was eventually absorbed into Bomag America/Compaction America (Now known as HYPAC) and some models including a small articulated rubber tire roller sold under the Hypac name is an original descendent of the Hyster machine.
Hyster also made a successful line of logging winches and compactor attachments, both of which could be attached to other manufactures machines including Caterpillar. Hyster Compactors. The Hyster name has been associated with forklift trucks for many decades, however, Hyster was also very prominent manufacturer of compaction equipment. From the 1950s through the 1980s they had a very comprehensive and well regarded line of products. Along with the Raygo company these two manufacturers were perhaps the best known in the USA, Up until European and other brands became common.
Hyster's Home office was Portland Oregon but they also had manufacturing plants in Danville, Peoria and Kewanee Illinois America. And Australia Belgium, Brazil, Canada, South Africa and Scotland (Facts from a 1969 Brochure)
