Canada
This console formerly sat on the desk of a member of the Government in the House of Commons chamber of the Parliament of Canada. It was originally designed in 1977 by Eleanor Milne, Dominion Sculptor from 1961 to 1996, as part of an improved communications and translation service in the Chamber. Both the House of Commons and the Department of Public Works were involved in the design: the actual manufacturer is unknown
Function
A piece of audio equipment used by a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons for communications and translation functions.
Technical
This is an example of the less common single console for a single desk. Designed in 1977, it was replaced in 2004 during renovations of the House of Commons Chamber. The Chamber Technology Infrastructure Replacement programme included improved translation connections as well as the installation of drops to allow MPs to use laptop computers at their desks. The new consoles introduced improved technology and also permitted additional space to allow for future modifications to permit electronic voting. The console contains a McCurdy circuit board, a speaker and a Hammond transformer. Its exterior features include a microphone, an indicator light, a six-position switch and a volume control knob.
