Thanks, this gives us the incentive to move on with the next restoration video. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed it and found the finished product amazing.
Before AGA, Pintsch's Patent Lighting Co (London) produced a range of lamps installed in lighthouses, lightships and buoys. Developed by Julius Pintsch of Berlin, these were fuelled by oil gas as opposed to AGS who used Acetylene. I have a book illustrating some of Pintsch's marine products. Incidentally, they supplied what was the largest buoy at the time, designed to moor the liners Mauritania and Lusitania. During 1915, the British company divested the German shareholding and dropped the Pintsch to become purely Patent Lighting Company. Their other manufactures were devised for lighting railway carriages - AGA did likewise and their lamps outwardly appeared to be badge engineered Pintsch. I've actually remanufactured a Pintsch railway lamp for carriage restoration projects!
At last some technical content. The story of James Timmons Chance and the tie up with Fresnel is worth a bit of research as is that of Aga and his sunlight operating gas switch. Thank you for an interesting video and good luck. Look forward very much to the next…
We're glad you found our video interesting and informative. We appreciate your feedback and we'll definitely be incorporating more technical content in our future videos. The stories of James Timmins Chance and Aga are indeed fascinating and maybe we'll do a feature on them in time.
Fascinating video. The finished article is amazing. Congratulations.
