Brad: The American Arc (very similar, at least in appearance, to
the old Irby-Gilliland "Efficient" that became the
first Coleman lamp) is known only from items in collections. We
have ZERO info about the company! I'd suggest sending an
image and what info you have to Alan Moore for posting on his
"Pressure lamps Unlimited" page. Maybe one of the
"pressure freaks" has some data that hasn't
surfaced yet. Contact Alan (I think he's away from
"home" at the moment) at < awm@compuserve.com > ,
and say "Hello" from me! You should ckeck out the home
page also: < ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/awm/ > .
