Chemical equipment. Early 19th-century artwork depicting a two sets of devices and instruments used in chemistry experiments. At top (labelled 1) is a steelyard balance and weights being used to weigh gases, with a thermometer also present. At bottom (labelled 2) is an apparatus used for the combustion of diamond.
