Acetylene lights on a Stanley Steam Car

2/25/2017

 
A lot of work went into the steamer again this year. Most of it is maintenance but I also decided to get the headlights to work. Carbide headlights on cars were deemed obsolete well over 100 years ago. Originally, water would be dripped on Calcium Carbide in a sealed canister to create Acetylene. Refillable Acetylene tanks became the norm around 1910. Two streams of gas aimed at each in the lamp housing create a wide flat flame which is reflected off a mirror in the back. It actually gives a surprising amount of light.

Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs latest report

​EDITORIAL
Geoff Lancaster
 
I am writing this in the aftermath of the New Year celebrations from the delightful island of Madeira, quite a remote yet accessible small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I come here each year to escape the snow, ice and salty roads of the English winter. I say this not to inspire your envy but as an illustration of the universality of our hobby. Evidence of the passion for historic vehicles is everywhere here.

 Its value would depend on its condition. Do you have any information on the state of its body, face, glass, needle, whether or not it works, and whether or not it is accurate?
