E.G.F. "Ted"
SWEET
By Doug SWEET,
Wednesday,
September 7, 2005, Page A26
Mechanical engineer, inventor, pipe organist, husband, father,
grandfather. Born June 3, 1924, in Brantford, Ontario Died March
22 in Burlington, Ontario, of complications from Alzheimer's
disease, aged 80.
Rev. Don PARSONS glanced up in the middle of his graveside prayer.
A four-engined, Second World War-vintage bomber droned loudly
overhead. He paused.
"It's not everyone who gets a fly-past," he said quietly.
Indeed not. And although Ted would have preferred to hear a steam
locomotive whistle as it chuffed along the tracks below the old
Hamilton Cemetery on August 20, the heavy Lancaster would certainly
do.
Something old, something mechanical, something big and solid.
These were all qualities Ted appreciated.
A graduate of Brantford Collegiate Institute and the University
of Toronto (where he joined the student air corps during the
latter part of the war,) Ted was the only child of George
SWEET
and Muriel
PHELPS. He began his own family in Brantford when
he married Peggy
DOWIE, a teacher who hailed from Grimsby, Ontario,
in 1952. As chief engineer at the old Brantford Coach and Body
truck-building firm, Ted was instrumental in the design and development
of the upside-down pyramid style of sand spreader that is now
a ubiquitous winter sight across the colder parts of North America.
After the company was sold in the early 1960s, he moved, with
his wife and two children, Doug and Marnie, to Fergus, Ontario,
where he worked for Beatty Bros., the large agricultural implement
and appliance manufacturer. Tempted by the chance to participate
in some pure engineering research, he moved in 1963 to Kingston,
Ontario, to join a small team affiliated with Queen's University
dedicated to the development of a "free-piston" engine. The loss
of a grant for the project prompted yet another family move,
this time to Ottawa, where Ted joined the Department of Industry,
Trade and Commerce. Here, he helped design the massive Centennial
caravan trucks that criss-crossed Canada in 1967.
But government wasn't Ted's cup of tea. He moved to Peterborough,
Ontario, in 1966, where he joined De Laval, a division of the
massive Swedish Alfa Laval company. Here, Ted worked in both
engineering and sales capacities. After a move in the mid-1970s
to the Oakville-Burlington area, a variety of other sales and
engineering jobs followed. But by the mid-1980s, the early symptoms
of the inexorable disease that would ultimately claim him began
to make their presence felt and Ted retired to enjoy a bit of
travel, some cycling and playing bridge for as long as he could.
An accomplished pianist and pipe organist, who filled in for
vacationing organists at United Churches in Fergus and Peterborough,
Ted adored the mathematical precision of Bach. Here, his ingenuity
found another application. Unable to install a full pipe organ
at home, he managed to rig an ancient pedal board to an old-fashioned
pump-organ and employed a vintage Electrolux vacuum cleaner for
suction. His dream of adding a second keyboard was, alas, unfulfilled.
Other inventions included an ingenious one-piece screwdriver
built in such a way as to let you apply tremendous torque to
a recalcitrant screw. Enough torque to break the screw, he discovered
more than once. But the screwdriver, like everything else he
built, was solid. It was later marketed as the Dura Drive.
We buried his ashes in an old family plot, next to his great-grandfather,
Edmund Edmonds
SWEET, a Methodist minister born in England in
1812. The old grey granite stone had stood for more than 120
years before being buffed and engraved once again. Solid as ever.
Doug SWEET is Ted's son.
