Taken from acquisition proposal "La plaque provient du système de distribution électrique du magasin Eaton sur College Street. Elle fut retirée ainsi que les panneaux électriques par M. Heinz Peper alors que des travaux de rénovation avaient lieu au cours des années 1950 ou 1960. Le système électrique s’étendait sur 70 pieds de longueur dans la salle électrique du magasin située au deuxième sous-sol. Il avait été conçu par la Nesbitt Electric Mfg Co. Ltd de Toronto et fut installé par la Ontario Electrical Construction Co. Ltd. Il s’agissait du premier grand contrat pour cette dernière (fondée en 1929). Cette compagnie existe toujours aujourd’hui. Le comité avait accepté l’acquisition de cette plaque lors de la réunion du 29 novembre 2017 mais M. Peper n’était pas prêt à l’offrir car il voulait vendre la plaque avec les autres panneaux électriques. Finalement, les panneaux sont vendus et il a décidé de nous offrir la plaque."
Function
Used to commemorate an event.
Technical
Taken from acquisition proposal "Il semble qu’à l’époque, l’installation électrique, à l’image du reste de l’édifice, était à la fine pointe de la technologie. Au deuxième sous-sol du magasin Eaton, se trouvait deux salles électriques, l’une pour les panneaux avec les disjoncteurs à circuit d’huile, et l’autre avec les panneaux avec des disjoncteurs ouverts. Il y avait aussi 3 transformateurs pour abaisser le courant, un générateur avec une turbine à vapeur.".
