They pass from condenser in the form of gasoline and water. The water settles to the bottom and the gasoline overflows. Stillman works in the factory. The gauge indicates the flow in barrels. Stillman controls the operation by watching the rate and gravity of steam. Gasoline is fractionated on re-running stills using fire and steam.
