[edit] neodynium

I'll bring back the misspelling information that was recently removed. The misspelling "neodynium" is not notable in Wikipedia because I've corrected all of its occurrences (except one that is in a reference title on IntraLASIK) since I started editing here. Google "neodynium" and you'll find many serious scientific papers using it. The misspelling "praseodynium" can be seen much less frequent but is still worth mentioning too, I think.

[edit] morse code

Didymium glass was used during World War I to send Morse Code across the battlefields. The glass filter caused only imperceptible fluctuation in the overall light intensity, but the intended receiver had a set of binoculars fitted with a spectroscope wherewith to see the neodymium absorption bands flashing on and off.

Seems unlikely. Removed pending citations etc. 24.95.50.240 (talk) 06:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

there is perhaps more nonsence in old glas section. Leo vel Ludvig die 1916 and the Czech "Moser Company" glass was awrded in Paris in 1925 thus before "its discovery" in 1927 a s the article claim . http://www.moser-glass.com/en/tradition/glass-museum —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.124.119 (talk) 23:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
