Robertson 8CP 220v carbon lamp with MKII Vitrite Cap
A lovely antique specimen I managed to acquire recently, made roughly around 1901 to 1902. James has the same lamp in his collection: http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Spec%20Sheets/IN%20C%20Robertson%20Vitrite%20Mk2.htm

Certainly never seen a double filament carbon arc lamp before. I spose tho that makes sense as early lamps were rather dim in comparison to later filament lamps
