Opinions on this 1868 Still Patent

Recommended Posts

Less of a patent for a new kind of distillation, seems to have more in common with a carter head.  Combination carter head/thumper?

He states that the still, thumper, and condenser are not part of the invention, and it's really the third chamber that's the innovation.  It has a chamber for herbs, flavoring, or even activated carbon.  It has an additional set of perforated plates, and some kind of variable thumper?

I was thinking something similar. His invention seems to be a doubler then a carbon filter then a botanical chamber.

Still-->Doubler->Doubler->Charcoal-->Botanicals-->Plates or Perforated Disc-->Worm

E
F egg-shaped or double-conic head or vessel
G Screw appendage to remove head to fill with botanicals?
1
2 vapor from still
3 vapor from doubler
4 return for redistill?
5 return for redistill?
6 pipe from top of chamber A to worm to draw off less refined vapor
7 pipe from top of B to worm?
8 pipe from water still to worm?
9 pipe from apex of conical chamber C to Worm with pet cock valve (primary vapor path)
10 conical head fill pipe
IV Worm or Refridgerator (radiator)
