Description: PLEASE SEE PHOTOS NO CRACKS TO LENS ( CLEAR AMD RED) THIS HAS A FITTING AT THE BOTTOM FOR ACETYLENE ? USED ON TRAINS, AUTOMOBILES, CARRIAGES Known as a “side lamp,” “carriage lamp,” or “truck lamp,” designed specifically for use on the front of early automobiles (particularly delivery/work vehicles) in the years before electric car lighting became the norm in the 1920s. They were basically makeshift, oil-powered headlights that truck owners could manually attach via double-support fork brackets. This model Type A is approx. 8 inches tall and fitted with 3-inch clear and red lens. Adlake Line of Truck Lamps was put on the market to meet the demand for a lamp which would withstand the severe conditions imposed upon them in truck service. The bodies are made of steel and the lamps are constructed with the Adlake Balanced Draft Ventilation which insures proper burning and a clear lens under all weather conditions. The Adlake lamps are used as standard equipment by most of the early trucks ADLAKE (which by now also had facilities in New York and Philadelphia) went back to focusing on the transport industry, while also evolving to meet its new demands. This included the development of a self-contained acetylene gas lighting system for railcars
