Daniel, I am not quite that old, did fire it a couple of times when I found it in the shop.
True story, Early 1930s a group of local dignitaries were having a picture taken, the above flash was then in use, they produced a lot of smoke, and there were 5/6 photographers taking same pic, so decided to only use one flash.
Cameras used were on a tripod, no shutter, lens cap removal and replacement, decided exposure.
Plan was, the person firing the flash, would say," Caps off", then count 1, 2, and fire it.
All ready to go, he shouted," Caps off", and all the people in the group, removed their hats!!!
I knew one of the photographers. Ed.
