    I thought you might also enjoy its German name: Quecksilberdampfgleichrichter

      Sounds kinda similar to the Swedish word “kvicksilverbågelikriktare”…

      EDIT: After doing some more googling, the proper name for the device in Swedish is:

      “Kvicksilverlikriktare”

        and sounds nothing like the hungarian “higanyív szelep” or “higanygőz egyenirányító”
