Just kidding.

Thanks Jack. Always interesting pictures.
Not a job I'd want. Checking for explosive gas with a flame seems like it would have the potential of turning a mine into a minefield !!
Heck of a way to earn a paycheck.

I never knew that such technology existed back then. Thanks for posting the youtube link! I thought they were still using canaries into the 40's.coaledsweat wrote:Kind of tedious at times but this explains how the lamp works. Some interesting stuff, no shortages of geniuses back then.

Nice display, Paulie !
I see a spittoon included in your coal mine gear. Don't coal mines have corners to spit in ?

Sure there are lots of corners in the mines..... But a good miner does his best to keep the coal as clean as possible.
The little spittoon happens to be a ladies travel cuspidor ...... The mens regulation size wouldn't fit on the shelf
