Children used slates to practise writing letters and numbers. They sometimes used their slates to play games when not learning their lessons Early models of small, hand-held chalkboards were slates encased in a wood frame to keep the slate from breaking. Pencil and paper were available but paper was very expensive. Using a small, hand-held slate meant that a child could practise writing, erase and write again without having to consume expensive paper.This item is an example of early educational equipment and can be compared to modern school equipment.A double-sided rectangular-shaped school slate with a wooden frame.Chalk markings - number sentences.

(Source: The First One Hundred Years by R.S. Medew and I.M. Bowman - A History of The Medew Family in Victoria - page 11 extracts) - Charles Turner Medew (1829-1915 ) arrived in Victoria from England in 1857. He eventually settled in Ringwood as the original purchaser of Crown Allotment 32, Section C, where he built his own home in 1888 and became well known locally "for his fine building work and stone masonry." ... "In his retirement, Charles Medew experimented with model helicopters. About 1910, at the age of 80 years, he was able to raise these helicopters to such a point of efficiency that, just with an elastic wound propeller, when released they could fly upwards to the height of the large oak trees." ... "(Also) In 1910, Charles obtained plans and made a model of the Wright Brothers' biplane entirely of wood, with laminated wood propeller and driven by twisted elastic bands." This model remained in his workshop for many years after his death and with his family's permission was eventually placed in the Melbourne Science Museum.3 pencil drawings showing assembled parts and sectional views of a model helicopter.

Although the company logo on the front of the truck is blurry and unclear, it appears to indicate that this truck was produced by the International Harvester company. It may be an International Model 103, with an added (or optional) cab; some other photographs of trucks of this model do not feature a cab but share many similarities with the truck photographed. Model 103 was available as part of the HS Series from 1924 to 1932. It is unclear exactly where this photograph is from, but it is attributed as belonging to Ray Wood, likely a local figure to Emerald.This is an example of vehicles used for transport and industry in the region in the early 20th century.This item is a sepia photograph of a truck (possibly an International Harvester Model 103) with solid rubber wheels parked on a residental street, with several houses - each with a fence and front yard - in front of it. The truck is pulling a trailer, carrying one large log on the truck's flatbed and another on the flatbed trailer.
