content: This metal container is meant to heat a glass funnel by surrounding it with hot water. In use, the side tube would be heated with a Bunsen burner. The basic form was attributed to Philippe Plantamour, a chemist in Geneva. This example is of the sort associated with the German microbiologist, Robert Koch (1843-1910).
