Biographical history
John J. Windsor, known as Jack Windsor, was born 3 May 1914, the eldest of four children, in Toronto, Ontario. He graduated from a technical college in Toronto in 1931. Over the next years, he worked as manager of White Corners fast food restaurant in Lindsay, Ontario, while continuing to take night courses in drafting. In 1938, he married Paula Thora Card. He joined Massey Ferguson in January 1941 and seems to have retired around 1979. While at Massey Ferguson, he was instrumental in designing the model 37 combine and was sent as representative (engineering advisor or project engineer) to Australia for one year and to France for three years. Windsor died on 20 December 2000.
Custodial history
Donated in two transfers by Marlene Kaiser and Linda Vitillo in 2010.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of documents, technical drawings, photographs, clippings, reprinted articles on Massey Ferguson or Massey Harris, a badge, a pin, a business card, and some drafting tools. There are also some internal newsletters and publications from Massey-Harris in Australia. The archives show that Windsor seems to have been involved in the design of model 37 combine and that he worked in Canada, Australia, and France.
