No. Electric. Batteries used distilled water. They had rooms full of charging racks. Folks used to steal them for coon hunting, but they had to swap batteries out at work because the charging racks were too big to steal. Back then the batteries were pretty big and heavy. Carbide lights went out long ago because the open flame could ignite methane and cause an explosion. When I was a youngster, a lot of the old-timers still had carbide headlamps and they used them for coon hunting. But they were a fire hazard in the woods, too.WRW wrote:Carbide lights?dorminWS wrote:I'm told Westmoreland Coal used to have a huge still in their Andover shop.
