The chiefdefect in the simple stills was that they were inter-mittent that is required the operations to besuspended when they were recharged, whilethat of CeUier-Blumenthal is continuous; thatis to say, the liquid for distillation is introducedat one end of the arrangement, and the alcoholicproducts are receifed continuously, and of a con-stant degree of concentration, at the other. Thesaving of time and fuel resulting from the use ofhis still is enormous. In the case of the simplestills, the fuel consumed amounted to a weightnearly three times that of the spirit yieldedby it; whereas, the CeUier-Blumenthal apparatusreduces the amount to one-quarter of the weight ofalcohol produced. Fig. 15 shows the whole ar-rangement, and Figs. 16 to 17 represent differentparts of it in detail. In Fig. 15 A is a boiler, placed over a brickfurnace; B is the stiU, placed beside it, on a slight-ly higher level and heated by the furnace flue DISTILLING APPARATUS^ 49.
