   EV>Would you tell me how you would write the Swedish word for a vacuum   
   EV>tube?   
      
   They are called r”r (middle letter an o with two dots on top) and   
   pronounced like the letter "o" in word. We never use the word vacuum.   
      
   EV>And while you are at it, what is the Swedish word for a Transistor.   
      
   That hasn't been translated to swedish nor finnish except that the finns   
   add an "i" at the end.
