Synopsis

Excerpt from Manual of Home-Made Apparatus: With Reference to Chemistry, Physics, and Physiology

Only small tubing, whose inside diameter does not exceed three-sixteenths of an inch, can be readily bent in an alcohol flame; and for this purpose the wick must be drawn up half or three-quarters of an inch and the tube must be held in the hottest part of the flame, which is the upper third. Glass tubing is quite inexpensive. It should not cost over fifty cents a pound, and a pound of the size mentioned above contains about twenty-five feet.
