Default How much mercury is in mercury relays?

"DoN. Nichols" fired this volley in
:

Have you ever lifted a bottle filled with it?


A quart glass milk bottle of it in the 1960s -- Yes, it's heavy!


I still have a 1lb bottle (a mere 'vial', and shy a few grams) of
chemically-pure mercury which I use in tiny quantities for compounding
experiments (not electrical purposes).
