Woulff bottle
Woulff bottle 'wu̇lf- 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.
