THE

COMPLETE

TRACTICAL

DISTILLER.

ishould

be

made

of

copper,

and

is

filled

with

wash

or

other

liquid

intended

for

subsequent

distillation,

by

means

of

the

pipe

and

funnel.

This

vessel

should

at

least

contain

two

charges

for

the

upper

compartment

of

the

still.

The

outer

vessel

n

n

may

be

made

of

wood,

and

must

be

charged

with

water

circumscribing

the

inner

vessel.

When

the

vessel

is

at-

tached

to

other

stills,

the

outer

vessel

n

n

may

be

dis-

pensed

with,

and

the

pipe

o

o

attached,

which

must

com-

municate

with

another

condenser.

The

vapour

passing

from

the

still

through

the

pipe

/, as

above

described,

pro-

ceeds

to

the

spiral

condensing

pipe^,

which

passes

several

times

round

the

vessel

I,

and

the

vapour

being

cooled

and

condensed

in

its

progress,

finally

collects

in

the

form

of

spirits,

and

is

drawn

ofi"

through

the

pipe

o]

q

is

a

pipe

inserted

into

the

head

of

the

vessel

I,

with

a

light

valve

opening

upward,

for

admitting

any

vapour

into

the

con-

denser^,

which might

arise

from

Z;

but

this

at

the

same

time

prevents

the

passage

of

any

vapour

from

the

still

through

the

pipe

f,

A

waste-pipe

r

is

attached

to

the

cistern

n,

to

carry

ofi*

the

surplus

water.

The

parts

of

this

apparatus

claimed

as

an

improvement

by

a

gentle-

man

in

London

are

a

vessel

to

contain

wash

or

other

liquid

in

the

progress

of

distilling,

surrounded

by

a

cavity

for

condensing

the

water

from

the

still.

The

apparatus

shown

at

h

and

s

are

glass

vessels

containing

a

number

of

graduated

bubbles

of

known

gravity,

which

being

put

into

a

glass

vessel,

into

which
