THE

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
a
portion
of
the
spirit
passes
from
