Abstract
It is not so well known as it should be that Rydberg’s occupation with spectral lines had its origin in his interest in the periodic system of the elements, an interest which accompanied him through his whole life.
First published in English in the Proceedings of the Rydberg Centennial Conference on Atomic Spectroscopy, Lund 1954. Vol. 50, No 21. Universitetes Årsskrift, Lund, Schweden, 1955.
