- (continued from previous page)lamp was used. A wick was passed through a flattened tin pipe which was passed through the cork of a bottle. The bottle was filled with paraffin oil and the cork replaced in it - the long end of the wick falling into the bottle and a small piece protruding from the top of the pipe. This end was lighted just like the wick of an ordinary lamp which was introduced later and burned without any chimney. A piece of wire was usually twisted around the neck of the bottle by which the lamp was hung on the end of the crane-crook.
