[Sqg-program] mercury spill from grandfather clock with pictures

[Perrigan, Glen]

At the workshop last week, Kathy Gaynor mentioned this as a source of mercury
found at a school and people were wondering how mercury was used in
grandfather clocks. This article has excellent pictures. Obviously not a huge
source of mercury spills, but one of the odd-ball ones that's good to know
about.
