	201 Album page. Two photos on the right are of Barrington Passage for certain. Perhaps the engine room photo is from the same station.

	208 Unknown location. No masts visible. Quite a large residential building. In the distant gloom is the outline of a rolling hill.
	209 Chap is standing on the well deck of some vessel, perhaps the 'Estevan'. The tender 'Estevan' carried a radio operator but I've never come across any of their names. Winch is steam driven and was made in New York.
	210 Unknown dwelling.
	211 Fairbanks Morse was the engine of choice for the stations. This is a two cylinder engine, might be at Barrington Passage, Nova Scotia as that station was a large facility. I don't know of any two cylinder power plants in use on the west coast. YouTube has several good videos of F-M engines or go to this site's engine page.
	212 Typical looking radio equipment of the era. No idea what it is, but it does have large contacts on the rotary switch. Could be used for transmitter antenna tuning. The wooden box is from the James Robertson Company, a maker of plumbing pipes out of Toronto at the time.
	213 A view of Bull Harbor radio, located on Hope Island just off the NE edge of Vancouver Island. Photo taken sometime after 1935.
	214 Jon Healey advises, "This station is Pachena Point. I have a copy of the photo as well. We lived in the house on the left when my dad was OIC. The photo was taken from the top of the water tower." See also 402 & 403 to make up a panorama view
	215 Taken on the porch of the operator's residence on Triangle Island, probably in 1913. On the left is Harold Tee, Jack Bowerman in the centre and Jack Berry on the right. The phrase "all dressed up and nowhere to go" comes to mind. For a time they had a house keeper who insisted they 'dress up' for dinner.
	216 Dominion Government's buoy/lighthouse tender 'Estevan'. Built in Collingwood, Ontario in 1912. Scrapped in 1971. A well known and hard working vessel along the coast.
	217 Buoy/Lighthouse tender 'Estevan', perhaps in Bamfield Inlet. Looks like the engine room boys are having a problem!
	218 Point Grey cricket club. Don't know if any members were from the Point Grey station.
	219 A hotel in the community of Alice Arm, in Observatory Inlet north of Prince Rupert. During the 1920-30 era the area was a mining boom town. It looks like a railroad bed running in from the right and out onto the dock. There is a huge stack of cordwood next the track awaiting the arrival of the tender.
	220 A man and his goat at Pachena Point. Note the tram tracks and the light tower in the distance and see photo 044 for comparison. This photo should be reversed.
	221 Unknown chap in uniform. Girls are also strangers.
	222 Dorothy, Mary and Tommy Raine amidst the lard and cream canisters. They must have used the containers to pack a picnic.
	223 Radio Workshop in Victoria. Address is 202 Harbour Road, just the other side of the Johnson Street Bridge. Building still exists...but suffered a small interior fire on April 1, 201x probably due to transients camping inside. Building was demolished in +/- 2020 and is now a parking lot. Victoria city issued the building permit sometime in the fall as this October 1941 Colonist paper clipping attests.
	224 Second Point Grey Wireless operations building. Unique porch lights help with the identification.
	225 Group on the beach having a meal of melons. Jack Bowerman on the far right
