No, not a member of the lamp producing family afaik, but perhaps related. Either way, it seems clear where the inspiration came from to select a picture for the front cover of Christopher's book.
Well observed! Any suggestion that Tilleys are ‘neolithic’ compared with other lamps will be hotly contested, no doubt.
John, you surely will know of younger generations that consider pressure lamps 'stone age' anyway. But an ethnographic survey of Tilley users could be surprising even for us, ha! N.B. Thank you moderator for shifting this thread to the right place. Mike
