Norman, Nor did I manage the copper plate script - probably as they were forcing me, as a left hander, to write right handed !

And then there was Leonardo Da Vinci. :bow:

vtsteam:
I had a carbide lamp and a carbide canon when I was a kid. The cannons went under the name "Bangsite", and the carbide granules -- the Bangsite itself - came in a squeeze tube. There was a little dipper built into the canon's igniter to measure out the right amount. The igniter used cigarette lighter flints.

The lamp was a miner's lamp - brass body to take the carbide and above it a little tank with a lever that controlled the drip rate. Big reflector.
