Interesting to look up the manufacture information and find that the Stabilite headlamp was used on many a classic car from at least the thirties, some of them very high quality vehicles. Look how easy it used to be to change a headlamp, unlike modern car scenarios. Cruise on Central, Phoenix.
A few of my favorite shots from my most recently attended drift even earlier this season. Have not been shooting as much as I would like to be recently, hoping to change that.

A travel headlamp is a light source affixed to the head for outdoor activities at night or in dark conditions such as caving, orienteering, hiking, skiing, backpacking, camping, mountaineering or mountain biking. One of the random items that are very important in the packing list of any long term traveler is a headlamp. A travel headlamp are essential for trips into caves, treking and hiking. A good headlamp is quite simply one of the key essentials you need to purchase and pack when embarking on any travels.
Here's the trims kindly gifted to me after I 'lost' a headlamp rim the other week. The windshield trim was an added extra after I told Neal mine was dented.
Thanks to their stainless steel finish I managed to polish out 60+ years of wear and tear
The more daring in the group rode the rapids bareback; those with headlamps on left an impressive trail.

A miner’s carbide lamp. According to the American Museum of Natural History:
Carbide lamps are powered by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water (H2O). This reaction produces acetylene gas (C2H2) which burns a clean, white flame. Acetylene gas was originally discovered by Edmund Davy in 1836, but commercial production of calcium carbide only became feasible due to the efforts of Thomas Wilson in 1894. Frederick Baldwin is credited with developing the first carbide mining lamp, holding U.S. Patent number 656,874 for an Acetylene Gas Lamp that was granted August 28, 1900. Commercial production of carbide mining lamps began soon after, and the collection in the Division of Work and Industry reflects a variety of carbide lamp designers and manufacturers including Baldwin, Auto-Lite, Guy’s Dropper, Shanklin, Dewar, and Wolf. Carbide lamps came in different sizes for different uses, smaller lamps were cap lamps, larger lamps were hand lamps or hanging lamps.
The design of the carbide lamp consists of two chambers—an upper chamber holding water and a lower chamber holding the calcium carbide. Acetylene gas is produced when water from the lamp's upper level encounters the calcium carbide stored in the base via a dripping mechanism. The amount of water flowing into the calcium carbide container can be controlled, with more water producing more gas and a bigger flame when the lamp is lit. The gas is funneled to the burner, where it is lit by a match or a built-in striker. Once the flame is lit, a reflector allows the miner to control the direction of the light.
The carbide lamp consisted of several improvements to both the oil-wick lamp and candle as a means for lighting in non-gaseous mines. The lamp produced no carbon monoxide, consumed less oxygen, gave a brighter 4-6 candlepower light, and had a higher light quality than the candles or oil-wick lamps it replaced. The carbide lamp had its problems as well. Average runtime in carbide cap lamps was only about four hours, necessitating a carbide refill mid-shift, which could leave the miner in darkness. The burner tip was also prone to clogging, and concussive blasts or winds inside the mine could extinguish the light as well.
The popularity of carbide mining lamps was short–lived, as electric battery powered lamps came into favour around 1918 due to their superior light, safety, and runtime, and had almost completely replaced carbide lamps by the 1930s.
According to our guide, many of the older miners preferred these to the more modern electrical lamps, as they were lighter and the flame provided clues of gas pockets. Methane wasn't a problem in the Drumheller coal fields, so safety lamps weren't needed.
