The lighter-juice and the wick and the wadding goes into the body of the lighter, through a hole in the bottom. You lift the arm (hence the name) and you strike the wheel.</p><p><br /></p><p>That sparks, and the sparks light the fumes coming off of the wick, turning the lighter on. To extinguish the flame, you simply snap the arm back down over the wick. </p><p><br /></p><p>If everything is clean and in working order, that&#039;s how it happens.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a very old-fashioned type of lighter. I&#039;ve never seen one of these that was dated past the 1930s. Ordinary zippo-style flints, wicks and fuel will be all you need to get it going.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
