"Her, som overalt anvendtes Fremkaldelsespapir, og belysningen forgik i Eksponeringsmaskiner med Kvægsølvlampe. "

Hvad fanden er en Kvægsølvlampe og hvad kalder man det i Engelsk? Ordet kommer fra en gammel udskrift fra 1916.

Orbital (asker) Oct 3, 2006:
Again Mercury lamps were not used at that period, 1916, so it cannot be a quicksilver lamp. I must be missing something here.
Orbital (asker) Oct 3, 2006:
Jeg har fandt ud af, kviksølv var ikke anvendt i den tids. "Carbon arc lamps" var anvændte i den tid, men jeg kan ikke se hvordan det bliver til kvægsølvlampe.

agree Will Matter : The English cognate is "quicksilver" and that's an old-fashioned word for 'mercury'. Agree.
