"The expanded use of kerosene in the mid-nineteenth century led to a search for ways to test the volatility of petroleum products, to reduce the incidence of accidental fires. Giuseppe Tagliabue, an Italian immigrant working in New York, invented a flash point tester in 1861. The C. J. Tagliabue Manufacturing Company produced many instruments of this sort."
