Which I assume is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. by J.E. Cirlot, if Vonologia can confirm? Couldn't find the reference within, didn't look that hard.
The alkali's were often represented by a o superimposed upon a + (the acids were simply a +) and then surrounded by different marks depending upon the reactant. So the figure sort of makes sense, although it's missing the + sign.
Vonologia, send a PM with a description of the problem if you keep getting problems uploading images.
