For public streets in bigger cities much mention is made of someone lighting the lanterns along the streets, and checking them every so often during the night on patrols. What sort of propellant was used, gas?Thanks for this, @DBF and especially for the thread on whale oil. Fascinating stuff - the rate of change experienced by those living in the late 19th/early 20th centuries is mind boggling.
I'm sticking to my guns though, Standard Oil dominated the kerosene market and the rest, as they say, is history.
