A 19th century electrical artifact that has been completely transformed and given a new lease of life is the filament lamp. In the 19th century, the filament was made of carbon: no other material was satisfactory. The author looks at the development of early carbon lamps and the eventual transition to metal filament lamps using tantalum and tungsten.
