- Scope and Content
- One black and white photograph used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published April 8, 1972, with caption:
- "Getting a lift - Harry Anderson, 15, of 107 Alma Street, operates an electric porchlift designed for persons who are physically disabled. The porchlift being used by Harry, who has muscular dystrophy, is the prototype model designed by a London quadraplegic, Peter McTague, and built by a friend, Ross Wilson. McTague (in background, above) believes the porchlift and another apparatus he has designed - a bedlift - will help disabled persons return home from hospitals quicker. McTague and Wilson have started their own company, Tagwill Lifts, to manufacture the lifts." (34)
- Article, St. Thomas Times-Journal, April 8, 1972 "Quadraplegic develops powered lifting devices to assist other disabled persons". (R4_S6_Sh6_B2_F34)
