Domestic object - Bottle, AGM (Australian Glass Manufacturers), Phenyle bottle, 1950s

Document - BILL ASHMAN COLLECTION: CORRESPONDENCE
Three copies of a Letter, dated November 5, 1936, from Sister M. Monica to Sister Mary Gonzaga, relating to her the benefits of using scalebuoys in the water to the boilers and hot water systems. It had removed scale from the pipes. The only problem they had was the scale that had fallen off blocking the traps and that soon stopped. Scalebuoys were going to be installed in the cold water system as soon as there was more money to do it.Letterhead -St Josephs Hospital Phoenix Arizonasciences, instruments - general, scalebuoy, bill ashman collection - correspondence, st joseph's hospital arizona, sister mary gonzaga, mater misericordiae hospital auckland, mr herzog, st mary's hospital san francisco, mr abbott, sister mary monica -
Kiewa Valley Historical Society
Handmade Tool - Insect Cover or Sieve or Fishing Net or yabby trap
Flies are plentiful and a problem especially in Australia's summer. Farms were a breeding ground for flies that bred in cow manure. Fly-wire was used to keep flies away from food as well as light cloth covers. Farmers could use this sieve to fill with sand etc. to sort the sizes and also to use for eg. wheat to sort the grain. Yabbies are trapped in the creek or river by leaving food in the net for the yabby to crawl into.Food covers were used by residents of the Kiewa Valley especially as many of them were dairy farmers. Farmers often made their own tools for a purpose such as sieving or for the family catching yabbies to eat or for fun.Tall triangular steel fly wire cover with a steel handle and frame. or The frame can be held in order to fill the sieve or to empty it. or the frame can hold bait for yabbiesfood cover, fly-wire, flies, sieve, handmade tool
