Fonds also consists of the film CANADIAN INGLIS BRIDGE TRIALS.Provenance :Biographie/Histoire administrative :Dominion Bridge Company : The predecessor of Dominion Bridge (DB), a structural steel, heavy engineering company, was the Toronto Bridge Co., established in 1879 by Canadian and American interests. Due to the limitations and poor showing of Toronto Bridge, it was decided to start a new company to be called Dominion Bridge in Montreal. A federal charter was obtained in September 1882 and shops were erected in nearby Lachine. The new company was very successful in attracting business both from railways such as the CPR and from local governments for small highway bridges. Over the next century, DB built many of Canada's landmark bridges including those in Halifax, Quebec City, Montreal and Vancouver.
When steel framed buildings began to appear around the turn of the century, DB became a major fabricator and erector of steel structures. It built many large hotels, skyscrapers and factories across Canada. The company also produced a wide variety of industrial equipment such as penstocks and scroll cases for turbines, water regulating structures, cranes, boilers and material handling systems for mines and paper mills. The custom design and fabrication of large industrial machinery was also a specialty.
In the 1920s Dominion Bridge purchased metal fabricating companies in Amherst, N.S., Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton. Branches were set up in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver to give DB plants across Canada. By the 1970s the company realized that the Canadian market was too limited to allow for further growth and it began to acquire companies in the United States. American business became so dominant that the company's name was changed to AMCA International in 1981 and the operating headquarters was moved to the U.S. In 1990 the company became United Dominion Industries. It is a multinational conglomerate with manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe for world wide markets.Information additionnelle :Note générale :Acquired from AMCA International Ltd. of Rexdale, Ontario between 1984 and 1987.
The 15,290 photographs, 1882-1969 (accession 1987-161 NPC) includes material that duplicates images found among the 10,188 photographs, ca. 1880-1930 (accession 1974-234 (NPC). Several thousand items complement and complete series found among the 19,800 photographs, ca. 1900-1960 (accession 1976-072 NPC). This accession has earlier and later material than either of the two other accessions, and is accompanied with indices and other finding aids which apply to parts of all three accessions.
The 138 glass lantern slides, ca. 1890-1955 (accession 1991-089 NPC) complement one previous accession of lantern slides (accession 1987-161 NPC) from the company. The present accession completes some previously incomplete series.
The 19,800 photographs, ca. 1900-1960 (accession 1976-072 NPC) continues accession no. 1974-234 and in some places enlarges the amount of material in that accession.Vedette-matière :- Bridges
