Mine Illumination: A Historical and Technological Perspective
In 1914, two engineers from the USBM, John Ryan and George Deike, formed the Mine Safety Appliances Company and began work with Thomas Edison to develop personal electric lamps.  By this time, more efficient tungsten filaments had replaced the older carbon filaments, drastically improving light output from the bulbs, and Edison was able to design a small-scale, rechargeable battery that could be carried on a miner’s belt.  The Edison electric cap lamp was approved by the USBM in 1915 (Clark and Ilsley 1917).  Electric lamps gained acceptance and eventually replaced the older technologies.
