RM2CAWD3G–An old cigarette card (c. 1929) with a portrait of Sir Humphry Davy, 1st Baronet (1778–1829) and an illustration of his safety lamp. Davy was a Cornish chemist and inventor. He is best remembered inventing the Davy lamp. In 1815 Davy began experimenting with lamps that could be used safely in coal mines. Dangerous Firedamp (methane mixed with oxygen) was often ignited by the open flames of the lamps then used by miners. Davy's lamp used iron gauze to enclose a lamp's flame to prevent the methane burning inside the lamp from passing out to the atmosphere. Davy refused to patent the lamp.

Wires passed through insulated flex to an illuminating coil within a sealed glass cylinder.

It reduced the danger of explosions due to the presence of flamable gases.
