Apedale Heritage Centre, mine tour and museum

This special attraction was created at the site of Staffordshire's Apedale Mine and is run by a team of dedicated volunteers. Along with the underground mine experience, we have an interesting and informative Museum, and a welcoming café and gift shop.

The centre is set in the unique landscape of Apedale Country Park. The site is also home to the Moseley Railway Trust's collection of narrow gauge industrial locomotives.

We are open every day from 10:30am to 4:00pm, although mine tours are only run at the weekend and Bank Holidays.

LAMP HANDLING AND SAFETY

hi kevin,
is this connected with the torch relay?
i ask because the results would vary with the type of lamp.
if its a torch relay based on the GR6S; videos of fueling are on you tube and still photos are on our website;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHP9437uaIE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScRi-s4SvR8
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/UGDDI8wD37gCgH3ZxhKWfw

fuel;kerosene or paraffin, this helps safety as it can only be lit with a naked flame. (the unmodified GR6S uses relighter spirit which has a very low flashpoint to cope with the lamps spark ignition.)
the lamp base or fuel vessel is packed with felts to absorb the fuel for transfer to the wick. so we recommend filling with fuel to the brim of the filler neck then after is has been soaking for a few minutes turn it upside down so the excess fuel can drain off.
the lamps are very robust as they are designed for use in a coal mine. the glasses are double fired pyrex or similar so are very strong.
it is important that the bung is secured tightly in the glass hole used for flame transfer. the fire resistant rubber seal should be clean,soft and undamaged.
the easiest way to put out a lamp is by dropping it vertically or banging it down on a hard surface . this causes the flame to jump off the wick.
the lamps are designed to burn for between 8 and 24 hours on a small flame. the wick should be turned down as far as possible until the flame nearly goes out and then back up slightly to establish a small but stable flame. the aim is for the fuel to burn just above the wick so it is not burning the wick. so a clean uncoked wick is important so there is a steady fuel flow.
the flame is enclosed within a flame trap so will burn gases within the double gauze enclosure in the top of the lamp but not ignite gases outside of the flame trap.
in other words if you take a lit lamp into an enclosed space with an explosive percentage of methane the lamp will burn the methane and indicate its presence but not cause igntion of the gas.
the normal place for a lit lamp to be carried is on a miners belt, so you can see that they are used to being banged about.
we supply a cradle for fixing the torch relay lamps on board aircraft.
re the boat deck scenario, i don't know as we have not tried it, i suspect the flame would go out as a result of the shock of the fall. thats what usually happens when a lamp is dropped in a coal mine.
if the fuelling has been done as above the fuel would stay in the felts.if it stayed lit it should just keep burning until the fuel runs out.

i hope this is helpful, but please ask if you need more.

regards david mather

Type 6 M & Q Safety Lamps

PAUL MARTIN FROM NASHVILLE ASKED ABOUT HIS LAMP;

I live in Nashville, TN. We found one of your lamps in my Dad's attic as we were cleaning it out. It looks like it is all brass. On the stamped brass it says Type 6 M & Q Safety Lamps Approved 8/28
I tried to put some lamp oil into it but it does not seem to go in it. Can you tell us something about it and how we can make it work. Thanks so much.

Paul Martin

the Type 6 or deputies relighter lamp became the main lamp for gas detection from nationalisation of UK mines in 1947.
the GR6S in use today in coal mines and as modified for the olympic torch relays is a development of this.the type 6 was gradually replaced by the gr6s from the early 1970's.
fuel is relighter spirit or colzalene, which has a very low flashpoint so it will light with the spark ignition. it is very similair to lighter fluid and petrol.
lamp oil is kerosene/paraffin based and will only light with a naked flame.
to get it to light soak the vesssel in petrol, make sure the wick is soft and that the striker is producing a spark from the flint.
replacement parts come in our service kit whcih you can buy in our online shop.

LIGHTING AN SL ??????????? HELP

HAS ANYONE OUT THERE DEVELOPED A RIG FOR LIGHTING SL'S?
HERE IS ANDERS PROBLEM;
I'm still strugling with the lighting the lamp with 4 volt (as mentioned in the blog of september 20, 2007). All the batteries I have tried, have not had power enough to heat up the wire, and the 1 Amp power supply just short curcuited. Have you got any idears about lighting the lamp? I'm getting quite desperate :)
On the base there is stamped 53/5291 and E. I recon that the 53 is the production year, does the 5291 or the E say any thing about the lamp type?

Olympic Torch Relay

The security lamp mentioned in the article is in fact a modified miners
lamp made by Protector Lamp in Eccles, Manchester.
The unmodified lamp is still used in Coal Mines in the UK and Poland for
gas testing.It is used to carry the flame from Olympus and onto planes
used for transporting the flame.It is the only safe method of carrying a
naked flame on a plane.
Protector Lamps carried the flame for Sydney,Athens and Torino and for
the Special Olympics in Shanghai last year.They have also carried the
flame for the Pan American Games and the Asian Games.
It has always been a great way of bringing people together and informing
them of the games. I was saddened to see the debacle it became this
year with chinese paramilitaries barging people out of the way.
Let us hope that such a great event is not spoiled for the future.

JCM 1 Lamp

JCM 1 Lamp

hi tom,
i notice its got an 85 stamped near the base of the glass, would 1985 be about right.
johnson,clapham and morris were wire makers from greymare lane in east manchester. so they made gauze for miners lamps and like many companies from the early 1900's made lamps.
they would have supplied us with lamp gauze. when they decided to sell the lamp business we bought it in the mid 1950's.
y that time they were only making the JCM 1 which was used by the GPO( british telecom), sewer and tunelling contractors. it was used like our 1A lamp under TM1 Schedule B for testing for bad air; ie oxygen deficiency.
they are still used by some contractors now and in the royal naval dockyards. you hang the lamp down into a chamber and if it goes out you have to ventilate before any one can work there.

David,

Could you please supply any history on the lamp attached.

I only know my Dad was a foreman building the sewer around the country for Kennedy's. I have had the lamp refurbished at your workshop a few years ago when i used to look after your telephone system, I regret that I didn't note down the history of the lamp at that time, I only recall that you stated he lamp was in original order.

Dear Sirs
I have a miners lamp that I am trying to restore to its original working condition.
I am unsure of the manufacturer as there is no identification on the lamp. I do know that it was in use in a British Coal mine until the late 60s it is underground relightable and from your website it looks like a Garforth GR6s. I also note from your website there is maintenance package available for this lamp.
I have attached two photographs of the lamp and hope that you may be able to help.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you
Ernie Skelly.

Magnetic Lock Opening

hi brian,
your mag lock is in the locked position. you need a strong magnet to pull down the ferrous sprung pin.
you may be able to slide a feeler gauge in to push it down.

Hi,
Sorry to bother you. My Protector Lamp is in two parts (See photograph). How do I get the short brass arm (See close-up) to one side so the two parts screw together?
Thanking you in anticipation.

Half Size- Minature Presentation Lamp

hi chris,
its a half size non working presentation lamp made from the 1960's to the late 1990's.
regards david
I wonder if you could help me please? I'm trying to find some more information on an old lamp I have marked 'Protector Lamp & Lighting Co Ltd Made in England Eccles'. This is also engraved on the bottom of the lamp. The lamp is 12cm tall by 4 and a half cm wide.The top half of the lamp unscrews and there is some kind of wick inside. The lamp has a hanging hook on the top. However, there is no model number or date on the lamp? The only history I have is that it is believed to have been made by a member of the firm as a gift for one of my relatives now deceased. All the other lamps I've seen on the web seem to have a model number on them so I'm struggling!

Sorry to be so vague with the information but I know nothing about these lamps other than what I have found out through your great website! Any information you may have would be very much appreciated.

Type 6 Alluminium Surveyors Lamp

hi john,
its a Type 6 surveyors lamp.
they were mainly used by surveyors in the early 50's. the base was alluminium to save weight.the slide is the shut off ring for gas reading, o s - open and shut.
they stopped being used i think late 1950's. there was an ignition at a mine thought to be caused by a reaction between iron and the alloy foil of a kitkat wrapper, as a result alloy lamps were no longer allowed.

SL LIGHTING

hi trevor,
from what you say you have an SL (side lit) lamp with a type 6 top.
the sl or workmans lamp was lit in the lamp room by a current of approx 4 volts. if you strip it down you will see a series of insulating washers.
the current was applied to the side of the vessel and the glass plate. it fed to the platinum wire which glowed red sufficient to light the fuel in the wick.
you couls chop the top off the locking standard wire, enabling you to unscrew the bonnet and light with a naked flame.
59 is for 1959.
regards david

Trevor Funnell wrote: Hi, I've just acquired a Type 6 lamp which I can't work out how to light. The serial plate on the bonnet only mentions that it's a type 6 and there are no other visible markings that resemble serial The Brass fuel tank has been stamped 33/4813 but this appears to have been done after manufacture, next to the wick are what appear to be two screws holding a wire heating element (1cm or so of fuse type wire)The glass bears a Crown type logo with "MFP" in the centre above which is an oval with "M (something)" flanked by "5H 1/4" to the left and "59" I had hoped to use the lamp occasionally as well as keeping it for its ornamental value, I noticed on your web site the odd mention of HT being used to light certain versions of lamp, is mine one of these? and if so am I likely to be able to light it (I would consider minor modifications if it didn't ruin the over all appearance of the lamp.

SL lamp information

hi ola,
the SL for side lit or workmans lamp was used alongside the relighters. workman were not allowed to relight underground.they started phasing them out in the late 70's.
the SL was lit by a low voltage electric current in the lamp room.
the principle of the davy gauze is that the flame will burn inside the gauze but the size of the mild steel gauze ie; 28swg wire with 28 holes per inch sufficiently dissipates the heat so as not to ignite methane or firedamp outside the gauze. so when methane is present it burns in a flame on top of the lamp flame and the height gives the percentage of methane present and thus warns of an explosive atmosphere.
re lighting underground if you relight a lamp in an explosive atmosphere it will detonate and cause an explosion.
re the fuel tank or vessel, the felts inside are designed to soak up the fuel. the filling technique is to fill to the top leave 5 minutes then stand the vessel upside down to drain off the excess fuel. whats left will be sufficient to last 8-12 hours ie a normal shift.
most older pit lamps leak ad it is very difficult to reseal. but if you follow the above you should be ok.
regards david

Thank you VERY much for the quick and thorough answer David. I really appreciate it!

Mine is the one with the platinum wire lighter - were those in use before or after the flint ones?

Also - I was wondering a bit about what actually made the lamps safe in gas - is it because the gauzes makes for an increae of nitrogen making the mixture of gases inside the lamp less flameable?

I have failed to find a really good explanation for how the lamp actually works among all info on the net.

One last thing about my lamp; There seems to be a small leak in the bottom soldering on the tank - Do you think I could blow-torch it to seal it again? Or should I use some chemical seal ? I wouldn?t want to burn the felt inside...

Thanks again for the answer!

Regards,

Ola

TYPE 6 LAMP HELP

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT A LAMP

hi ola,
the type 6 is a deputies relighter lamp which we supplied in bulk from nationalisation in 1947 to the ministry of power subsequently the national coal board and then british coal.the type 6 began to be replaced by the garforth/GR6S lamp from 1965.
the number 61 stamped on the bonnet is the miner check number. checks are handed in at the lift gate so they know who is underground.
50/ is for made in 1950.
the fuel tank or vessel is packed with felt pads to absorb the fuel,colzalene or relighter spirit which is similar to petrol. you can use petrol or ronson or zippo lighter fuel. in addition there is a long section of wick coming up to the bottom of the wick tube. this must not be removed. on top of this fits the trimming wick approx 1" long which is replaced regularly in the pits.
the felt pads and wick dry out with lack of use.
best policy is to leave it submerged in a can of petrol for a day or two.
the reason paraffin is not used is it will not light with the spark ignition, it needs a naked flame. as the lamp is a flame trap and self extinguishing if dismantled a flame cannot be introduced.
the cracks in the wick tube will not help but it shiuld still burn.
it is called a mag lock bceause it needs magnet to pull down the sprung metal pin.

the innstruction manual comes in the service pack which you can buy online at www.protectorlamp.co.uk
good luck.
regards david mather

Hi!

I realize you probably get a bunch of these questions but I´d very much appreciate it if you might help me out a bit:

Firts of all the age.

My lamp is stamped no. 61 on the bonnet - I gather this is just a serial?

On the bottom plate just beside the sixth locker pin which goes up in the bonnet and locks it, is stamped: 50/4026G does this tell you anything?

About the tank:

Is it filled with cotton? If I look down the wick-tube, after removing the wick, it looks like another wick is stuck some 3/4 down. I put a small screwdriver down the tube and pushed and it´s very hard.

I filled the tank with parafine and it runs for a few minutes then it seems it´s not getting enough fuel and starts burning the wick. Is it the fuel that´s wrong?

I also noted that the wick tube is broken; two small cracks runs at each side from the top to near the bottom - does this make for bad capillary force in the wick?

And last: How ist the lock suppose to work? Is it merely a push-spring bolt that´s supposed to go through the hole in the lock? If so - Why is it called a magnet lock?

Again, I hope you don´t mind these questions - I really want my beautiful lamp to work!

Thanks and regards,

Ola Dahlbom

P.S.

Is the a manual for this type of lamp? On the web?
