sp. i itlcally (a) Any device for reducing gases or vapors 
to liquid or oliil form. The reduction is usually etfci tt-.l 
by lowering the teln|>eratureof the vajwr by contact with 
rliilli-d surfaces. A form of condenser common in the 
laboratory Is shown In the figure. From the flask, A, the 
vapor to i- condensed escapes through the tube b c, which 
paases through a larger coudenser-tule. A stream of ice- 
water enters the condenser through </, and paases on* 
through y, keeping 
the surface of the 
inner tube, b e, 
chilled, and the va- 
por entering the 
t n in- from . I is con- 
densed and drops 
from t as a liquid. 
Condensers used to 
concentrate vapors 
or gases, as steam, 
alcoholic vapor-, 
fumes, volatile li- 
quids, etc., commonly depend upon the reducing effects of 
a lower temperature. In them the vapor, gas, smoke, or 
fumes are brought into immediate contact with chilled 
surfaces. This is accomplished in a great variety of ways, 
as in the surface condenser of the steam-engine, the worm 
of a still, or the long convoluted tubes in which poisonous 
fumes or smoke are cooled before being allowed to escape 
to the chimney. The cooling surfaces are usually kept 
cold by water, as in the still, the gas-condenser, the sugar- 
condenser, etc. For fumes and smoke, the contact with 
walls exposed to the air is sufficient. iM A part of a cot- 
ton-gin which compresses the lint for convenient han- 
dling. (c) In imol-tnanuf., a machine which forms the 
wool received from the doffer of a carding-engine or 
cointer, and rolls it into slubbings. The doffer of the 
carding-engine is covered by a series of parallel strips of 
card-clothing, wrapped about the cylinder. The wool 
thus comes off in a number of loose flat ribbons of fleece, 
which in the condensing-machine are carried by a leather 
apron beneath a roller which has a reciprocating motion 
transverse to their direction, and thus rolls these slivers 
into loose slubbings, which are wound upon a roll and are 
ready for spinning. (</t In the manufacture of sugar, the 
apparatus used for concentrating the clarified juice, pre-

the greater part of the cane-juice. (<) In optical instru-
