Miners' Safety Lamp Cleaner
Standing in the lamp cabin at Beamish Museum drift mine is this Ackroyd & Best Ltd. miners' safety lamp cleaning machine, manufactured in 1927 and equipped with specially designed brushes to clean all parts of a stripped down safety lamp.
The machine is now electrically powered, but was originally driven by steam pressure.
