The reactants for the gas phase experiments were first frozen_out in a side arm attached to the manifold and then allowed to distill slowly into the manifold of pre-cooled reaction cells before sealing_off. Matheson purity tank chlorine was passed through a tube of** f into an Pyrex system where it was condensed with liquid_air. Recounting personal observations of clearance work, the Councilman cited instances of inefficient use of equipment or supplies by poorly trained workers and urged that plow blades be set so they do not leave behind a thin layer of snow which eventually freezes. The contents of the manifold for liquid phase experiments were then mixed by shaking, redistributed to the reaction tubes, frozen_down, and each tube was then. Hans found him froze. Next we freeze over the oceans and cover the whole earth with peas, then we go out among the neighboring stars, collect 250 planets each the size of the earth, and also cover each of these with peas four feet deep; and_then we have septillion. inactive chlorine was then added from one of the tubes described above and the mixture frozen_out and sealed_off in a flask equipped with a break_seal. The desired amounts of inactive chlorine and radioactive chlorine were likewise condensed in these cells on the vacuum line following which they were frozen_down and the manifold was sealed_off. The desired amounts of inactive chlorine and radioactive chlorine were likewise condensed in these cells on the vacuum line following which they were frozen_down and the manifold was sealed_off. `` The kid 's froze good. Insects there were on the world, but they were frozen solid during the night, only to revive and thaw in the morning sun.
