Description:
Two identical steel tubes with nozzles at their bottom and a metal disk a few inches above the nozzle, placed vertically with black metal casings from which they hang attached above them. They are attached next to each other to stand with a rectangular base and a straight vertical tube
One casing is cylindrical slightly decreasing in diameter. It has a paddle with holes of three different diameters atop it that one can place over its mouth. The other casing is a cylinder increasing in diameter but with its top edge collapsed and welded together to present a semi-circular sharp edge. It has several round holes at its bottom near where the nozzle emerges from it.
