Subject: What is the ignition temperature of the head of a safety match?

I have been trying to find this out for some time just purely to 
satisfy my curiosity.  Many years ago a neighbour of mine was taking a 
test and one question was 'what is the ignition temperature of a 
match?'.  He was unable to answer it and in the years since it has 
occasionally come to mind but nobody I've asked has been able to 
provide a definitive answer.  Perhaps the main reason it has stuck in 
my head is because the test he was taking was to become a tram driver! 
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Cadusch.
