Books and Manuals.
| We were all saddened to hear that UK
production of the Vapalux lantern was to cease and felt that that
known information about the Company and its products should be
collected together.
Ian Ashton has been collecting pressure lamps
for many years and Vapalux/Bialaddin models in particular. He bravely
took up the challenge and produced this excellent book of 66
pages with many full colour pictures. The book details the founding or the company,
its history, early products , takeovers and final overseas sale. The
second half details, with photographs, various models of lamps, many
from Ian's own collection. Also mentioned is the American designed,
Bialaddin folding stove. Soft cover £34.95 incl.
