    I am the director and curator of a small museum in the old coal mining town of Crested Butte, Colorado. I am trying to do some research on Safety Lamps that were used in the mines to detect gas, carbon monoxide and other dangerous situations. Does you book talk about these types of lamps, or if not, do you know where I might find information on them? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Can anyone help Neal out here? He's likely looking for post-Davy Safety Lamps, rather than the old open-flame "Frog Lamps" :: Fil ::
