Donated by the National Capital Commission in 1971. The NCC was a Crown corporation created in 1959 to build the capital region into a source of pride and unity for Canada. Starting in the 1950s the NCC contributed to the building of national infrastructures, the conservation of several parks and the development of urban parks. This screw press was most likely used in the construction of one of these areas. - Function
