- Description
- A brass and steel controller used for opening and closing cell doors at Oakalla Prison. The top is composed of a brass plate and is round in shape. A brass handle is present in the center of the plate and rotates to aim a pointer at any of numbers 1 to 9 and the letter A at the beginning of the numbers. The handle is spring loaded and can rotate whenever it is pushed down releasing it from a pin. Under this brass plate are two steel gears held within a steel frame all of which are held together with locking nuts. Markings on the top of the brass plate: "A" and the numbers in consecutive order from "1" to "9" . The numbers 7, 8 and 9 have been stamped in and appear to have been added later whereas the numbers "1" to "6" are present in raised format. The number "7" appears twice likely since the handle only locks at that point in between the two "7s" Markings on the small gear: "KANA" "NK 40B 15".

- Object History
- As a produce buyer for Kelly Douglas, Cecil Lee worked closely with local farmers along Marine Drive and in the Fraser Valley. The Burnaby company was one of the largest food distributors in Canada. In the mid-1970s, Lee was asked to oversee the import of Chinese mandarin oranges into Canada. Until that time, mandarin oranges had come from Japan and were sold in the winter, especially at Christmas. When the Japanese market could no longer keep up with demand, Kelly Douglas looked to China. The company relied on Lee’s cultural knowledge to build this very profitable part of their business. Lee designed the cardboard Chinese mandarin orange box to replace wooden containers. The iconic design required no glue or staples, making it possible for farmers to assemble and pack the boxes as they picked the oranges.
