But isn't this only part of the problem (nominal voltage difference)?
Alkaline voltage decreases with age/use, while the mercuries had very
steady voltage until rather 'sudden death'. So calibration with an
alkaline would only be valid at one point in its life-cycle.

Or is that more theoretical than real?
