I had heard of that one, but like the Keith Monks, nit a good idea to have this poison open in your listening room.

I seem to remember one where the cardridge connections were made through mercury baths 😳. I don't remember whose it was, though.

They then replaced it with oil of a suitable viscosity. The thermometers are now digital, but I think I still have one of the mercury ones.
