The Eccles Protector Lamp & Lighting Co Ltd was a British company that produced miner's safety lamps. These lamps were used by miners to detect potentially explosive gases in the m ines and to prevent fires and explosions. The Eccles Protector Lamp & Lighting Co Ltd was founded in 1873 by William Edward Teale, who was a chemist and inventor. Teale developed a new type of safety lamp that used a glass cylinder to surround the flame and prevent it from igniting any explosive gases that might be present in the mine. Show more
