Description: | Carbide lamps were a simple design lamp that producted and burnt acetylene which was created byt he reaction of calcium carbide with water, which was stored in a chamber just below the lamp. Once all of the calcium carbide had been used up you were left with a white paste which could be emptied and refilled. These lamps proved to be an inexpensive light source and were also reguarly used by farmers and miners as well as cyclists. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Messingham Places Bicycles Transport Individuals People Road | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
