Show detail Hide detail

This series consists of black and white photographs and colour prints, negatives and slides dating from ca. 1938 to about 1970, and created or compiled by Maurice Levy.

The photographs include family activities in France in the late 1930s; some documents relating to Levy's technical/scientific work in Britain; but are primarily concerned with his enterprises in Canada. These include photographs about United Metal Works; Levy Associates Co. Ltd.; Communications Systems Co.; and include considerable documentation (1952-1962) about the equipment, components, assembly, demonstrations, testing, and setups of various letter sorting machines developed by LAC for potential use in Canada and the United States.

Other photographs (primarily from the mid to late 1960s) document announcement systems, a weather broadcaster, printed circuit boards and other electrical assemblies made by his firms, and include internal and external views of equipment, equipment in use, and publicity shots.
