Summary
Lamp reflector. A polished sheet copper reflector to sit over the burner of a railway lamp above the smokebox on one of the Hunslet locomotives used on the Penrhyn Railway between the quarries and the port. The reflector is in the shape of a section of a cone. The bottom has a steel spigot soldered on, and the top has a hole to line up with the chimney on top of the lamp. A steel backplate, painted green, contains an attachment for locating the reflector on the burner.
