[edit] image
Can we possibly get a picture for this? (unsigned comment made user:Audiodude)
- Done, I made the image so I can change it if anyone has suggestiong but I think it sufficiently assists with the article. Also, it's a bit large on the page but not overly and the image is tiny so it's not hard on bandwidth (5k). Vicarious 02:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I looked up the entry to find out if the scientist Dewar who studied alpha radiations from radium with Madame Curie (Dewar et Curie. Comptes rendus de l'Acadmie des Sciences, t. CXXXVIII, p. 910, 25 janvier 1904.) I am still not sure. There seem to be several Dewars. The Dewar of the vacuum bottle was an important Scottish scientist who worked on the condensation of gases. Perhaps there was also a French Dewar? Then there is the scotch. I would hope someone would make an entry on the man, not just the bottle.
Try James Dewar (disambiguation). --Mathew5000 07:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] merge with vacuum bottle?
After looking at both, I think merging them would be OK.
Nice picture, by the way--very clear!
Would be nice to have some sort of disambiguation/redirect when somebody types in "Dewar" if this page goes away...

Both should be consolidated under “Dewar” (the proper scientific name)
Actually, it should be merged under vacuum flask per WP:NC(CN). --Mathew5000 05:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
