Period: Unknown
Canada: A British made instrument of the type used by the geological land survey of Canada. The Geological Survey of Canada was founded in 1842 to determine if the province's resources could support a mining industry. Throughout its long and continuing operation, the survey has charted the geology of Canada (on shore and off), as well as studying the country's topology, flora and fauna, and climate. Not all the GSC's were specifically aimed at supporting the mining and petroleum industries. For example, the survey has helped public works projects and, since the 1980s, conducted environmental-impact studies. Made for the Ontario Hughes-Owens Co. Ltd., Ottawa, ON, Canada.
Function: Used to safely store and transport a barometer.
Technical: A Dominion Land Survey instrument - designed for specific use in Canada.
Area Notes: Unknown
