Radar at the Bernard Price Institute, 1939-1945

  • ZA HPRA A3377
  • Fonds
  • 1939-1945, 2016

The large leather bound original volume contains photographs and handwritten descriptions relating to the radar research and development at the Bernard Price Institute.

The radar development for the detection and location of aircraft and ships by radar, had been started by Britain some years before the outbreak of World War II. In 1939 General Jan Smuts appointed South African scientists, under the leadership of Dr. B.F.J. Schonland, then Director of the Bernard Price Institute of Geophysical Research and Professor of Geophysics at the University of the Witwatersrand, to gather information for the research programme.

The institute committed itself entirely to war work and became the headquarters for what became known as the Special Signals Services which was tasked with preparing to train people in the use of British radar. Britain shared secret information on radar technology with its Dominions, and in South Africa’s case, this transfer of information occurred primarily through Schonland being briefed directly by Dr Ernest Marsden. Ever the scientist, Schonland, rather than serve purely in a training capacity, set up a research and development team, and based on the information he received from Britain, the team developed a South African version of radar within a few months using components scavenged from radio shops. The South African radar’s functionality was first demonstrated in mid December 1939.

The album was comiled by Dr G.R. Bozzoli, together with members of the radar team, at the request of the committee formed to dissolve the team at the end of WWII. Members of the team included Basil Schonland, Bernard Price and Humphry Raikes (former Vice Chancellor of Wits).

The collection contains records relating to the activities of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa's Canon Law Council. There are legal documents, diocesan reports, minutes of the meetings and correspondence.

Canon Law regulates the internal ordering of the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox and the Anglican Communion. Canon Law is amended and adopted by the legislative authority of the church, such as councils of bishops, individual bishops, the Pope for the Catholic Church, and the British Parliament for the Church of England. In South Africa Canon Law is an Amalgam of Roman-Dutch Civil Law and English Common Law, as well as the Customary Law. Bishops and church leaders should know how to respect and uphold Canon Law and the regulations of the church in all forms. Canon Law should be included in training of the clergy.

Colleen McCaul, Rea Vaya working papers

  • ZA HPRA A3456
  • Fonds
  • 2000-2015

McCaul was an extraordinary note-taker and filer of documents, and left a remarkably complete archive of the documents generated through her many projects. This includes reports, draft reports, presentations, meeting minutes, and correspondence. In many instances the documents are accompanied by her thorough personal notes. Altogether, this provides an unparalleled insight into the planning and implementation of Rea Vaya, and the many smaller projects she worked on including early bus reform projects for the City of Johannesburg and the Gauteng Provincial Government, reforms to national transport legislation, development of national BRT policy, other planned BRTs including those in Tshwane, Nelson Mandela Bay, and Ekurhuleni, and almost every pre-Rea Vaya transport policy of the City of Johannesburg. There is no more than a handful of people who were involved in so many aspects of Johannesburg’s post-apartheid transport system, and likely none who documented their work as thoroughly. This collection will be invaluable to scholars of Johannesburg, local government, bureaucracy, BRT, and urban transport policy.
