The factory proved to be an incubator for creativity, and Carwardine liked to tinker and experiment with the vast array of industrial bric- a-brac at his fingertips, especially the springs. It was while pottering like this that he designed a new type of spring with ‘constant tension’ that could be moved in every direction, yet remain rigid when held in position – rather like an arm.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHe patented his unique spring design in 1932, then applied it to a lamp, licensing the product to Herbert Terry \u0026amp; Sons, who already supplied springs to his factory. Originally, he named the now iconic lamp the Equipoise, but this was rejected by the Trade Marks Registry, so he decided upon Anglepoise.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/7750\/0220\/files\/Anglepoise-mini-brochure-front.jpg?v=1745672287\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" width=\"468\" height=\"166\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/7750\/0220\/files\/Anglepoise_4.jpg?v=1745672308\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" width=\"466\" height=\"661\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/7750\/0220\/files\/Anglepoise-mini.jpg?v=1745672298\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" width=\"462\" height=\"140\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsed in Great British institutions such as the BBC \u0026amp; Ministry Of Defence. The lamp during World War 2 was made with a battery pack to be used in bomber planes. According to the Anglepoise website, these were so well produced that when a crashed Vickers Wellington bomber was salvaged from Loch Ness in Scotland in 1985, the lamp still worked after being given a new battery – despite being submerged for around four decades.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn great condition with original black paint \u0026amp; stripped metal base \u0026amp; its original Bakelite on\/off switch.
