...together an intricate array of glassware that looks like a crystal pipe organ for Queen Mab's palace. It makes no music, but clicks monotonously every 30 to 120 seconds when it tilts to pour off some of its mixture. This C.C.D. machine works on the principle of liquid-liquid extraction: two substances are not likely to be equally soluble in two different solvents. And if the solvents are not soluble in each other, they can be separated. Whatever is dissolved in them will be separated also...
...dissolve more in one component than in the other when they are all shaken up in the glass tubes. The emulsion causes rapid distribution of the substances between the solvents. After the solvents have separated, the C.C.D.'s electronic brain tells it to tilt and pour off the liquid from the top of each tube into the next tube. Repeated hundreds or thousands of times over a period of hours or days, the process usually yields pure chemical compounds...

The current demand could be supplied by flashlight batteries. Says Arthur J. Rosenberg, president of Tyco:' "We could put it in a box the size of a pack of cards, battery and all, and signal with it. It's as simple as that...
