Distilling Apparatus, Distiller or condenser for obtaining fresh water from salt water, with handwritten explanation on paper. The system has two separate streams of water: cold seawater from outside the ship enters the outer, cylindrical vessel below and, when heated, leaves the device from above and is again routed outside the ship, steam is introduced through the top of the apparatus and divided into a number of pipes in which it is cooled by the sea water in the external vessel and, once condensed, is drained under as fresh water. In the wall of the external vessel two more taps are fitted
