Miner’s Safety Lamp with Cutaway
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This Davy-style safety lamp was likely built during the late 19th century. The cutaway reveals the construction of the safety lamp: there is a glass enclosure to protect the flame from being extinguished and wire gauze to keep the flame from escaping the lamp and igniting the gas in the mine.
