COAL MINE SAFETY LAMPS:
rokdok's offices are decorated with a small collection of coal mine safety lamps, used in the past to provide safe lighting and to measure methane concentrations. The following sites contain information on these collectible items.

Peter Cain's personal web pages, which include information on lamp inventors and photographs of some of the lamps in the rokdok collection.
Wilfried Lambert's web site, describing Belgian lamps, with some of his collection of lamps and tallies.
Dave Gresko's web site, an awesome resource for the mine safety lamp collector!
