Figure 63

Description

Figure 63. Van Dorn bottle created by Dr. William G. Van Dorn in 1956. It isquestionable whether this should be considered a modern instrument given itsmaterials of construction. However, on second thought, it is very similar tomodern valve-closing bottles. Left: descending. Right: ascending.
