IIRC, years ago household "silent" light switches were mercury switches. That would be the Avanti era, the 1960s. Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2024 10:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Unimat]

My kids finished high school over a decade ago. Their high school was teaching the biology classes in the old Chemistry lab. Soapstone bench tops, deep sinks, and gas ports for Bunsen burners... But

Blimey, this is all a blast from the past. Litihum ‘dancing’ on water. Burning magnesium ribbon. Bunsen burners! ?It’s a wonder we survived unscathed. I think H&S may be quite different today
