The lamp was manufactured by Levitt-Safety Ltd., founded in Toronto in the 1930s which produced and sold safety and first aid products. In 1967, the company expanded into Montreal and in 1982 NL Technologies was created to manage the production of miner’s lamps for Levitt-Safety Ltd .¹¹ Levitt-Safety, Company History, http://www.levitt safety.com/Company/AboutUs/tabid/61/Default.aspx, accessed on 10/03/11 The miner’s lamp was used by Mr. John Udd Mr. John Udd is a mining engineer, starting his career at the Hardy Mine (owned by Falconbridge Nickel) in Levack, Ont. Recently retired (2009) as the Principal Scientist-Mining with Natural Resources Canada’s Minerals and Metals Sector, Mr. Udd has worked at McGill University Faculty of Mining Engineering, Falconbridge Nickel Mines, and was the Director of the Mining and Research Laboratories of the federal government from 1984 - 1996. - Fonction
-
The lamp provides the miner with enough light to work by while keeping their hands free to perform any required actions. The battery pack is carried on a belt on the miner's waist so that its weight would be less cumbersome. - Technique
-
To work effectively miners must be able to use both of their hands and be as comfortable as possible. The clip on the back of the lamp allows it to attach to a helmet to free the miner’s hands following the tradition of cap lamps in the mining industry. Electric lamps replaced the kerosene cap lamps for a number of reasons including increased safety and ease of use. However, with the move to electrical lamps miners were required to carry a battery with them into a mine. The shape of the battery pack contours a miner’s hips making it easier to carry when belted in place. - Notes sur la région
