MECHANICAL SECTION 



The main work of the Section during the year was, as in the 

 past, concerned with the development of special equipment 

 and instruments required for the Research Branch in fish- 

 eries, forestry and wildlife. A list of the principal projects 

 worked on follows: 



Fisheries. Electronic brine shrimp counter, plankton traps, i 

 marine installations. 



Forestry. Scanning adaptation unit for data translator, port- 

 able power increment borer and pack board, increment core 

 examiner and vernier attachment, micro-digestion apparatus 

 for nitrogen determination, water bottom soil sampler, 

 dendrometer tape accessories. 



Wildlife. Animal tranquillizer dart ejector, deer tagging loops 

 (new design). 



Special equipment was also designed for other Branches of 

 the Department: 



Forest Protection Branch. Fire pump and lubricant testing, 

 infra-red fire hose drier, reciprocating folder for fire hose, 

 pegboard hose folder (re-designed), fire hose vuicanizers, 

 ifire hose lead markers. 

 Operations Branch. Photo copying table. 

 Parks Branch. Beach area algae cleaners. 

 Timber Branch. Aerial seeder improvements, broadcast 

 seeder for snow vehicle, improved towing swivel for sacrifi- 

 cation equipment. 



In addition to the foregoing, the Section provided engineer- 

 ing consulting services to the Department, as required. 

 Mr. M. H. Baker retired from service in the summer of 1966 

 after 41 years with the Department, more than half of which 

 was with the Research Branch.
