For use in emergency
Self-rescuers in the lamp room at Snibston Colliery. For the uninitiated, these are used to provide an oxygen supply in an emergency when the mine atmosphere becomes unbreathable. Hopefully you could find fresh air in the time (up to an hour) that one of these would work. Not pleasant to use, but could save your life.

This reinforces how difficult and dangerous it is to work in the mines. A wonderful capture.
