That is a mercury arc rectifier:

I thought you might also enjoy its German name: Quecksilberdampfgleichrichter
Sounds kinda similar to the Swedish word “kvicksilverbågelikriktare”…
and sounds nothing like the hungarian “higanyív szelep” or “higanygőz egyenirányító”
Or its Dutch name:
Kwikdampgelijkrichter
