1: Old-style fire still. The progress of the distillation is crudely followed
by listening to the sound of the boiling gum at the tail-pipe from which turpentine
and water are running into a separator barrel. The turpentine is piped from the
top portion of this barrel into a second settling barrel (turpentine is lighter
than water) from which it is run into the final oak barrel for shipment.
Caption 2: Stiller listening to the sound of the still. In old type stills the
stiller added water as sound at tail pipe indicated it necessary.
