In Fig. i is shown a perspectiveview of a can that is believed to possessthe good points sought after. The viewis broken, so as to show how the stopperis sealed by an ordinary lead car seal L,which is passed through a hole in thestem /, and thus locks the valve againstthe fell designs of anyone engaged inmaking an oil record without drawingsupplies from the proper source, as hasbeen done in many well-authenticated in-stances. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the can,which makes clear the functions of theparts. K is the packing nut for the stem/, and F is space for packing to preventle
