 the tubes attached on the inside. These are usually about one-half inch 

 in diameter, made of metal, and may vary in diameter and length to suit 

 the bottles to be placed upon them. The number of tubes and bottles 

 used may vary from one to twenty or more. The dotted lines indicate 

 how a second tier of tubes and bottles may be introduced. C is a sheet-
