Opinions needed. I’m working on an article about some special classic plugs. The topic includes mentioning the old tactic used by some of loading plugs with mercury. I’m staying away from specific applications for the obvious reasons when working with a very toxic substance that could cause major health issues. But in the interest in historical context I feel the topic needs to be documented. How do some of you feel about even mentioning this practice?
