bcv[22] - acetylene "flare" lighting

bcv[22] - acetylene "flare" lighting
Part of the ARP / Civil Defence [WW2] display area.
This was mainly fire-fighting, including dealing with incendiary bombs.
Also demonstrating an acetylene "flare" for emergency lighting - the gusty wind meant this was somewhat temperamental !

ARP = Air Raid Precautions.
These were the "Air Raid Wardens" and infamous for shouting "Put That Light Out"
2 years ago.

The acetylene for the flare was generated by steadily dripping water onto calcium carbide.
