The other day, SWIA visited a very cool surplus warehouse. There was a giant liquid nitrogen vat, rows upon rows of oscilliscopes piled ceiling high, and even what appeared to be the control panel for a power plant. After hours of digging, SWIA came across the following mysterious heating mantle. When it is laced up the ends are open and it has one big opening and three small openings. It fits a 500 mL rb flask snugly. Any ideas what its intended purpose is? Thanks for any imput.

Heating mantle for a resin kettle.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

These kettles are used in the manufacture of resinous material. ie. Dicarboxylic acids could be slowly reacted with glycols in your reaction kettle as the first step in the manufacture of a polyester resin. The kettles are usually two piece flanged, jacketed, and multinecked for stirring, addition, etc. etc.

That looks like a very useful piece of glass.
