You're kidding, right?
No? Well, how about "oil Lamps" (ca. 1905), or Coleman lamps
(gasoline/kerosene fired lamps with mantles), or carbide lamps, or "dry
battery" lamps (i.e. flashlights), or "hurricane lamps" (a type of oil
lamp), all of which were used in the early days of motor vehicles; or
how about CANDLES... sheesh!
Please notice also that SOME of us have sense enough to delete the msg
trailer ("To reach a human...etc., etc.") frome the bottom of quoted
msgs. Doing so saves bandwidth, etc., etc.
