Isaac John Collins (c1850-1901)
1901 Died. 'We much regret to have to record the death of Mr. I. J. Collins which took place on January 25. He was for many years associated with the late firm of Messrs. Silber and Fleming, more especially in connection with the Silber Light Company. In 1890 he undertook the managing directorship of the Lamp Manufacturing Company, of Leonard-street, London, and continued to occupy that position with conspicuous ability until his death. In the railway world he was well known in connection with the Coligny lamp for lighting railway carriages with gas, which was his own invention.'[1]
