Summary

Description
Deutsch: Stahlmühle - Erstes schlagwettersicheres Geleucht (= Lampe). Beim Drehen der Kurbel erzeugt die Stahlscheibe durch Reibung am Feuerstein eine Funkengarbe. Diese erreicht jedoch nicht die Entzündungstemperatur der Schlagwetter, so dass das Gerät auch in explosiven Gas-Luft-Gemischen verwendet werden konnte. Erfunden durch Carlisle Spedding (*1696, †1755), zwischen 1730 und 1750, verwendet in England und im westeuropäischen Bergbau. Deutsches Bergbaumuseum Bochum, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland.
English: Flint and steel mill, predecessor of safety lamps. Invented in the early 17th century at Newcastle-upon-tyne by Carlisle (also: Carlyle or Charles) Spedding (*1696, †1755). By turning the handle the steel wheel will rotate fast. The operator pressed a flintstone against the wheel, resulting in a huge spark fountain. It was believed in that time that the temperatur of the sparks was so low, they couldn't ignite possible firedamp. This was, however, not true. German mining museum, Bochum, Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany.
