Lamm was born in Ay, France, and moved to Louisiana in 1848. He patented various improvements in techniques of gold dental fillings, and develped a number of innovative designs for street railways. These later were inspired by wishes to improve the Streetcars in New Orleans, as there was a wish for faster and more powerful propulsion than horses could provide, while steam locomotives created noise and soot that was undesireable in city streets. The most successful of these designs was "Lamm's Fireless Engine", which ran on the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar line in the 1870s and 1880s, and also saw wide use in the street railways of Paris.
