Woulff bottle
n : a bottle or jar with two or three necks used in washing or absorbing gases Woulfe, Peter (1727-1803), British chemist. The Woulff bottle had been known to chemists before Woulfe's time, but the association of the bottle with Woulfe apparently derives from his use of a vessel with two outlets in a series of experiments described in 1767.
