Objects
Carpenter Rimlock
Rim lock from the 1830s. The logo isn’t clear on this lock.
This is from a similar lock (or mabye a bit older, because the top lock has “Patent Expired” where this one hasn’t.) shows the arms of William IV pf the United Kingdow (reigned 1830-1836). Made in the UK, these locks were exported to Australia (where this one is) and the USA.
Both respirator/iron lung
Portable respirator for people with polio. Developed in Australia in 1937 during a polio epidemic. This plywood “iron lung” was lighter and cheaper to produce than the metal American version from which the common name comes. This particular model was used at the Queanbeyan District Hospital (and is now on display in the local museum)
