Interesting video, yitrium.


Interesting. The guy with the hair is about as interesting. Reminded me of an engineer that worked for me in England. Brilliant engineer but as strange as the heavy unibrow he had.
 

Yttrium replaced thorium in many lantern mantle manufacturers lines.
Not quite as bright per reviews , my own included.

Exposure during use after initial firing was (per certain study) far less than background radiation level.
But , and it's a big but ; the manufacturing and process created contamination elsewhere. So Yttrium to the rescue. For now.
There are still manufacturers elsewhere using thorium.
 

Yesterday I found two very rare Schuylkill County PA milk bottles! Reichweins Dairy of Fountain Springs was a small, short lived dairy. Bottles from this dairy, or any bottle from Fountain Springs really, are always super rare. The one bottle has a small hole in the back, and the other has a ding in the front, but they will both display well.

Nice score, Rusty.
