In 1906, the Osram incandescent lamp was developed; its name was formed from the German words OSmium, from the element osmium, and WolfRAM, from the element tungsten (called wolfram in many languages and an alternative name in English).
The British company GEC imported Osram filaments from Germany for their own production of light bulbs[1].
