3. MESSRS. M. LOWRANCE & Son, Peel SqUARE AND MARKET STREET

BARNSLEY.

The M. L. and S. Lamp.

This lamp is of the Marsaut type, with air-feed through the middle ring. A number of examples (made by different manufacturers) formerly in use by the Brodsworth Main Colliery Company, Limited, have been altered to comply with the requirements of the Home Office, by Messrs. M. Lowrance and Son. The lamp, the general design of which is shown in Plate 1, consists of the following essential parts:

(1.) Bonnet or Shield of rivetted steel, with a separate securely fastened crown, furnished with outlet holes immediately below the crown, provided that the lower edges of the holes are not less than inch above the top of the outer gauze.

(2.) Middle or Bonnet Ring of brass, rivetted to the bonnet, furnished with vertical air-inlet holes and horizontal slots of total area not exceeding 2 square inches.

See page 4 and plate 1 of the Safety Lamps Order of the 26th August, 1913 (S.R. & O., 1913, No. 886, or p. 580 of Vol. of S.R. & O., 1913).

1914 (S.R. & O., 1914, No. 345 or p. 826 of Vol. 1 of S.R. & O., 1914).

Pillars of brass, steel or iron, 5 so arranged that a straight line touching the exterior parts of consecutive pillars does not touch the glass.

Bottom or Lock Ring, of brass.

(3.) Gauzes of not less than 28 S.W.G. steel wire, 784 meshes to the square inch, with double folded lap seams, strengthened by a steel liner, formed to fit flanges of the inner and outer base rings, and so secured to the same by punch indentations as to make strong and flame-tight joints.

The arrangement of the gauzes is shown in Plate 1, and is such that the gauze rings form the seating necessary to hold the glass firmly in position when the retaining ring is screwed home, thus preventing the possibility of the lamp being put together without the gauzes.
