The cable of the attachable helmet lamp is connected to the helmet lamphead, which con- tains contacts, a bulb, a reflector and glass. There is a switch on the lamphead to turn the lamp on and off. There is also a clamp that secures the lamp to the helmet. This way the miner had light wherever he looked and his hands were free to work.
