James Pitkin demonstrating his Portable Electric Lamp. For mines to the Royal Society in 1887. The demand for a new safety lamp in mines has directed many minds to the application of electricity to this purpose. Some have proposed to use primary batteries; others utilise secondary batteries or accumulators. One of the most portable, compact, and convenient forms is that of Mr. Pitkin.. The three-cell battery gives a light equal to 2.5 candles immediately after removal from the charging source, and lasts for nine or ten hours
