English: 1901-900-----Miller (American). First turndown lamp operated by a string or wire, although Mr. W.J. Hammer made one in 1880. Patent: July 9, 1901.
From an Archive Room at Nela Park in Cleveland the writer also had access to 20 negatives of individual Hammer lamps. A photograph was taken of each negative, in the sunlight, with the background being the noon day cloudless sky; this was accomplished with a Sony MVC-FD81 Digital Mavica camera. Then a "positive" was obtained through use of a scanner and Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2.0. These images are also shown below. Although the results leave much to be desired, the writer felt that the viewer might appreciate seeing a "close-up" of individual Hammer lamps, as originally displayed.
