[QUOTE="Retired, post: 446459, member: 29075"] Hi, Thanks ruston; it's amazing where a simple question leads isn't it; from head torch suggestions to miners lamps; I do so love forums because I never know what will crop up; it's nice though to know there are others still around with interests in coal mining. Both my late father and grandfather were coal miners; I've not seen my birth certification for years but on it I believe my father is included as "Coal Hewer". My father used to work in a drift mine in his latter years underground and I can still smell the carbide from his lamp; imagine working at a coal face with pick and shovel these days with a naked carbide flame; the health & safety lot would call the army out? What's a carbide lamp? Please see; [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqXnBXmPQ3U"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqXnBXmPQ3U[/URL] Kind regards, Col. [/QUOTE]
