Buenos días amigos, hoy quería traeros este vestigio de otro tiempo.
Llego a mis manos por casualidad pero me pareció curioso y me lo quede sabiendo que tenia algo especial.

Es una luz trasera para bicicleta o motocicleta de la marca inglesa Miller que eran especialistas en luces para este tipo de vehículos con gran calidad.
It is a rear light for bicycle or motorcycle from the English brand Miller who were specialists in lights for this type of vehicle with great quality.
Es curioso que esta pieza sea tan antigua puesto que aún usaba carburo, un combustible poco usado en estos tiempos, funcionaba creando una llama que hacia poder iluminar el terreno con un cabujón de cristal blanco y que te viesen por la parte posterior con otro cabujón opuesto rojo, un sencillo pero efectivo diseño que junto con su bisagra y su pequeño seguro hacia un poco mas seguro la circulación en la oscuridad.
It is curious that this piece is so old since it still used carbide, a fuel little used in these times, it worked by creating a flame that made it possible to illuminate the ground with a white glass cabochon and that they saw you from the back with another opposite cabochon red, a simple but effective design that, together with its hinge and small safety lock, made circulation in the dark a little safer.

Estas piezas de la historia te hacen pensar en lo difícil que tenia que ser los viajes cuando te cogía la noche y se disponía de esta iluminación. Hoy en día encendemos una luz y te despreocupas con su ip64 y su batería de litio de 48h. En aquel tiempo la llama se podía apagar y había que ajustarla constantemente viendo la cantidad de combustible, sin hablar ya de que lloviese o hiciese viento directamente se hacia una misión imposible.
These pieces of history make you think about how difficult travel had to be when you were caught at night and this lighting was available. Today we turn on a light and you don't worry about its ip64 and its 48-hour lithium battery. At that time the flame could be extinguished and it had to be constantly adjusted by watching the amount of fuel, without talking about whether it was raining or blowing directly towards an impossible mission.
