Proposed High School System, Toledo, Ohio, circa 1960s
No full textThis map of the proposed high school system of Toledo, Ohio, was created circa 1960s using data from the Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commissions. Each small dot represents 50 people in the population estimate for 1980, and the circles indicate one and a half mile service radius for each of the existing and proposed high school sites. A line of larger dots denotes the limit of the local urban area

Cost effective alternatives for mitigating debris and environmental impacts around bridge piers
No full textFinal report.; Sponsoring agency: Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Statewide Planning & Research; Contract or grant no.: 33807.; "December 2024."; "Project ID Number: 109491."; "Performing Organization Name ... Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute"--Technical report documentation page.; "Prepared in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration"--Page 3.; Additional information provided in email: Sate job number 135970.; Includes bibliographical references (page 18)Final report (24 pages) -- [Fact sheet] (2 unnumbered pages)This research study addressed three key problems: 1) identifying safer, timely, and cost-effective solutions for removing accumulated debris from bridge piers, 2) designing and implementing countermeasures to prevent debris accumulation, and 3) finding technological solutions to enhance bridge inspection, scour detection, and mapping of river cross sections. The project evaluated various equipment solutions for debris removal, ultimately developing and testing a custom knuckleboom crane with grapple and saw attachments. The knuckleboom crane improved worker safety, minimized lane closures, and allowed for streamlined environmental permitting. On small projects completed by ODOT County forces, labor was reduced by 43%. Large or difficult projects that have typically been sold to contractors can now be completed by ODOT forces with cost reductions ~80-90%. Numerous methods and materials were evaluated to develop strategies to mitigate debris accumulations and counteract scour. Chevron vane structures were designed and implemented at SR 122 over the Great Miami River in Butler County to better align river flow and direct debris away from piers. Debris snagging on piers has been greatly reduced, but not fully eliminated. Debris removal in conjunction with the mitigation measures has been highly effective. Additionally, a cross-vane structure was implemented at SR 52 over Ray's Run in Clermont County. The vane was constructed to address scour of the abutments. The project remedied systemic degradation of the streambed and halted scour. The research also explored remote, non-contact methods to aid in subsurface investigations for bridge inspection primarily focused on sites with water depths >5-feet. Demonstrations of uncrewed surface water vehicles and single and multibeam sonar were coordinated and used to evaluate hardware, sensors, software, and outputs. These technologies provided valuable data for evaluating scour and establishing repeatable cross sections for change detection in subsequent surveys. To facilitate technology transfer, multimedia educational materials were developed

Gendron Wheelchair, ca. 1941-1959
No full textThis photograph shows a wheelchair manufactured by the Gendron Wheel Company. The Gendron Wheel Company was founded in Toledo, Ohio by Peter Gendron in 1872. The company was known for developing the spoked wire wheel, which was used in baby carriages, bicycles, pedal cars, and wheelchairs. In 1941, with the onset of World War II, the company discontinued its line of children’s vehicles and concentrated on hospital equipment. By 1948, the Gendron Wheel Company had become the largest manufacturer of “invalid chairs” in the United States. The wheelchair in this photograph was donated to Toledo Lucas County Public Library by the Ability Center of Greater Toledo
