photo shows a hand-drawn diagram titled “HOW TO SET UP A GAS TRAP;” the main part of the diagram shows a round bottom flask being attached to a distillation head using a connector on a metal rod; both top openings of the distillation head are fitted with septa; a separate box specifies that “the wide part of the septa should fold over the distillation head,” along with an additional illustration showing the narrow end of a septum being inserted into a glass opening first and the wide end being folded down over the lip of the glass opening; one of the septa on the main diagram is fitted with a piece of narrow tubing, which is inserted through a clump of wet cotton into an inverted test tube held by a clamp; a separate box specifies that the “tube should be wrapped with the wet cotton then inserted into the tube forming a seal”
