The J. B. Colt Company was a producer of lamps and acetylene products based in New York City, headed by James Bennett Colt and in operation from 1891 to 1911.[1] Among its products was the Colt Acetylene Flash Lantern used by the American military.
The company was acquired by its competitor, the Acetylene Apparatus Company of Chicago, in 1911.[2]
A former Colt employee (1894-1896), Edwin J. Hadley, went on to invent cinema equipment, including a 1904 device to reduce image flicker.[3][4]
