For the purpose of cleaning the ap-paratus, a jet of steam or water may be introducedat a. A regulator is affixed at the screw-jointH, at the lower end of the worm, which addition isconsidered an important part of the part of the apparatus marked / becomes filledsoon after the operation has commenced; the end DISTILLING APPARATUS. 41 of the other pipe K is immersed in water in thevessel L. The advantage claimed for this apparatusis that the condensation proceeds in a partialVacuum, and that there is therefore a great savingm fuel. One of these stills, having a capacity of400 gallons, is said to work off four or five chargesduring a day of 12 hours, furnishing a spirit 35per cent, Fig. 10.—Cortys Simplified Distilling Apparatus. Fig. 11 represents a double still which was atone time largely employed in the colonies. It issimply an addition of the common still A to thepatent still B. From time to time the contentsof B are run off into A, those of A being drawnoff as dunder, the spirit from A passing over into stills are heated by the same fire; and it issaid that much fine spirit can be obtained by \w« 42
