Large horseshoe magnet, given to young E.J. Hartung. by an uncle. Ernst Johannes Hartung was a chemist and astronomer. Educated at the University of Melbourne (BSc 1913, DSc 1919), he became lecturer in 1919, associate professor in 1924, and succeeded Rivett as chair of chemistry in 1928, remaining in this position until 1953. Hartung?s lecturing style surged with enthusiasm and he employed the use of screen projections to demonstrate chemical phenomena to large undergraduate classes. In 1935 he recorded Brownian movement in colloidal solutions on 35 mm cinefilm, which was later copied onto 16 mm film for the Eastman Kodak Co. World Science Library. This can be viewed in the Chemistry laboratory. He researched the photo decomposition of silver halides, and was awarded the David Syme Prize in 1926. He devoted time to the design and construction of a large, new chemistry building for the School of Chemistry (built 1938?1939). During World War II he was approached by Professor Thomas Laby, chairman of the Optical Munitions Panel, to chair the advisory committee on optical materials, to produce high quality optical glass in Australia. This was successful, with large-scale production achieved within ten months at a reasonable cost. Hartung served three terms as general President of the (Royal) Australian Chemical Institute, was an ex-officio councillor of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, and a Trustee of the Museum of Applied Science (now part of Museum Victoria).Horseshoe Magnet �

True North is at the centre of the north pole This is a fixed point at the top of the planet. The majority of our navigational charts are orientated so that they use true north as their reference point. This is because true north doesn’t move. Magnets don’t point towards true north however. They point toward magnetic north which is in a different geographical place. The difference in the angle between true north and magnetic north is call variation.Three wooden boxes containing magnetic compass quadrantal correctors, correcting magnets and shadow pins.Saura Keiki Seisakusho Co Ltdcompass, correcting magnets, magnetic variation

This magnet commemorates the 70th Anniversary of the inaugural journey of the Spirit of Progress express passenger train. Its first journey was on 2nd November 1937 when it was launched by Victorian Premier Albert Dunstan and Chief Commissioner Harold Clapp at Spencer Street Station in Melbourne. It originally ran non-stop between Melbourne and the New South Wales border at Albury. The route was extended to Sydney in April 1962 after standard-gauge track was completed. The “Spirit” was Australia's first streamlined, air-conditioned, all-steel express train, styled in a 1930s Art Deco design with royal blue and gold paintwork . It was hauled by streamlined S-class 3-cylinder Pacific steam locomotives capable of travelling at around 75 to 100 kilometres per hour. It ceased operations in August 1986 due to competition from cars and air travel. Magnet Details & Event Background • The Anniversary Run: The magnet highlights the date November 25, 2007 when the Seymour Railway Heritage Centre (SRHC) operated a special celebratory commemorative run to mark exactly 70 years since the first journey of the Spirit of Progress. • The "Blue Train": The text at the top features the SRHC Blue Train. Seymour Railway Heritage Centre maintains a preserved fleet of original, iconic 1937 royal blue and gold all-steel passenger carriages and a dining car from the Spirit of Progress • Design Motifs: The centre of the magnet incorporates the classic winged "VR" logo used historically by the Victorian Railways, flanked by the stylized text "Spirit of Progress" and a large "70" at the bottom. • The Commemorative Journey: For this special anniversary event, the SRHC ran the original train from Melbourne to Albury using freshly repainted, heritage diesel locomotives B74 and S303 in their original Victorian Railways colours. This magnet is significant because it celebrates the Spirit of Progress which serviced Wodonga for 48 years and 8 months between 1937 and 1986.A small commemorative magnet with black background and gold lettering.
