@Dashwood Many thanks for that simple but crucial explanation of that phenomenon. Wisdom gained.
@Tony Press It's curious that this lantern of 1931 has that type of pump, whereas the first 242 lanterns of 1933 have an entirely different...
Excellent job. Stunning. I don't know if these were actually exported. Perhaps it was spirited out of the country. When it's my turn as Prime...

@WimVe Remarkable ! Great stuff. Thank you.

@presscall Many thanks. Most interesting. Paul.
