Model name and control names are in a combimation of red, yellow, white and pale blue, Sony Walkman FM/AM Radio and Recorder Functional object Sony Walkman FM/AM Radio and Recorder Sony Corporation ...The first Sony Walkman was launched on 22 June 1979 in Tokyo. It was designed under the leadership of Akio Morita and was a modification of an earlier recorder used by journalists called the “Pressman”. The first cassette Walkman TPS-L2 was to forever change the way consumers listen to music." According to Akio Morita "This is the product that will satisfy those young people who want to listen to music all day. They'll take it everywhere with them, and they won't care about record functions. If we put a playback-only headphone stereo like this on the market, it'll be a hit." Sony went on to sell approximately 220 million cassette-based Walkman units before ending production in 2010. This Sony Walkman model is a higher level portable cassette recorder and player featuring Mega Bass, auto-reverse, and an FM/AM radio. It was designed for recording from radio or microphone and was introduced to the market in 1988. This item is significant because the Walkman was widely used especially by young people from the 1980s onwards.A small portable combined radio and cassette player with recording facility.

A Committee of Inquiry was set up by the State Government into energy conservation, and this forum was used to debate the question of traffic signal control. The Chairman of this Committee opening remarks stated that the Committee considers that there should be only one authority for Metropolitan Melbourne to control traffic signal operations. This led to objections from many local Councils. This letter from the City of Melbourne was an attempted to get these Councils to band together to fight the proposal.

... FCV Control burning meter...He published his landmark paper, “Controlled burning in eucalypt forests” in 1962. ...Control burning meter...Introduced to the FCV in 1970 Bushfire Forests Commission Victoria (FCV) Control burning meter FCV Control burning meter ...The Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI) was originally invented by the grandfather of Australian bushfire science, Alan Grant McArthur of the CSIRO, during the 1950s and ‘60s. Alan lit fires under various weather conditions and calculated their rates of spread under a range of fuel moisture conditions. He published his landmark paper, “Controlled burning in eucalypt forests” in 1962. Leaflet No. 80, as it was known, proved a turning point for forest and fire managers across Australia. More importantly, Alan was very practical forester and wanted his work to be useful to people in the field, so after several iterations he came up with the now familiar circular slide rule called the Forest Fire Danger Meter (FFDM). The Mk 4 version first appeared in operational use in 1967. Two Forests Commission staff, Athol Hodgson and Russ Ritchie, built on McArthur’s pioneering work and, by applying their own practical experience, developed a modified version in the late 1960s called the Control Burning Meter which was better suited to Victorian forest conditions. By entering local rainfall records, the fuel load on the area to be burnt, wind speed at 33 feet above ground level and weather bureau estimates of temperature and relative humidity, the meter is used to indicate flame height, and the associated scorch height, that could be expected from lighting a grid of fires at regular intervals on level terrain - an allowance for slope variation was also possible.Introduced to the FCV in 1970Control burning meterbushfire, forests commission victoria (fcv) -

Kiewa Valley Historical SocietyLamp Small Kerosene, circa early 1900s
... The wick holder screws into the the top of the kerosene reservoir bowl and has a wick adjustment screw (light control) at one side. The small white glass light reflector bulb nestles securely onto the wick holder and is kept snug by snap designed extending "fingers". ...On the wick control screw "CWB BRITISH MADE"...The wick holder screws into the the top of the kerosene reservoir bowl and has a wick adjustment screw (light control) at one side. The small white glass light reflector bulb nestles securely onto the wick holder and is kept snug by snap designed extending "fingers". ...The period when kerosene was extensively used for indoor lighting was before electrical reticulation was installed in rural areas. In remote areas this was up to the mid 1900's. The kerosene lantern however was still in use, for camping and outdoor activities, well beyond this period and was eventually replaced by LPG and battery powered lighting. The transition phase to "modern" outdoor and domestic lighting lingered on the rural areas where the electrical reticulation suffered from reliable constant supply.In the Kiewa Valley, being a rural region, had reliable electrical domestic and farm supply only after the Kiewa Hydro Electricity Scheme had been fully operational. The supply was relative to how close the homestead was to the major electricity substation. This kerosene lamp was in use during the period when it was the only reliable source of domestic night time lighting. The strength of refractive light produced by this lantern/lamp hinged upon the size of the lamp(wick and glass bowl). The small size of this lamp suggests that it was for use in a small room(children's bedroom) or as providing a light for a safe walk to the outside ablutions (toilet) area. This small kerosene lamp has an enclosed "cup" body which would have contained the kerosene fuel. The top wick holder, made from brass, has an extended enclosed spout which raises the wick approximately 20mm from the bottom of the holder. The wick holder screws into the the top of the kerosene reservoir bowl and has a wick adjustment screw (light control) at one side. The small white glass light reflector bulb nestles securely onto the wick holder and is kept snug by snap designed extending "fingers". The section between the bottom of the refractive glass "light" bowl and the top of the kerosene bowl has perforations to allow air passage to feed directly to the wick.The light refracting bulb is open at the top to allow heat and smoke from the burning wick to escape upwards.On the wick control screw "CWB BRITISH MADE"kerosene reading lamp, domestic lighting, bedside light -

... Aircraft Control stick ...A Control Joy Stick presented to Pilot Officer Eric V. ...Control or Joy stick mounted on a wooden base....Instrument Aircraft Control stick ...A Control Joy Stick presented to Pilot Officer Eric V. Read in 1937 after it was recovered from an aircraft he was flying had crashed in the Brisbane Ranges in December 1936. Eric Read was a 21 year old RAAF pilot who was on a flight over the Bacchus Marsh region to make meteorological observations. Read's plane, a Bristol Bulldog biplane, came down in bad weather and crashed into a heavily wooded area of the Brisbane Ranges between Staughton Vale and Mount Wallace. An extensive air and ground search was conducted and after 32 hours Read was located, alive, but badly injured and unable to get out of the cockpit of the plane. He was first located from the air and then a rescue party was able to reach him through rough country and bring him to safety. Read recovered from his injuries and many years later gifted the control stick of the aircraft he had been flying as an item for the collection of the Bacchus Marsh and District Historical Society.This item is of local historical significance as an object related to a notable aircraft accident and subsequent rescue of the pilot. It is also significant for its rarity as a surviving piece of aviation equipment from this era.Control or Joy stick mounted on a wooden base.aircraft, aircraft accidents, eric v. read -

Two organisations competed to deliver this and Canadian company Humanware developed the Victor Classic as a table top player that relied on discs. As CDs had been introduced into the library some years before, this allowed borrowers to have the advantages of 4 track cassettes within a digital medium. The Victor Reader Classic used simple features that made it easy for clients to navigate through a book or magazine. The player played both DAISY and music CDs. The function keys included controls for variable tone, volume, speed and creation of bookmarks, sleep time and you could navigate by chapter and page on DAISY books.
