Vacuum pumps for gel drying

[Bruce Roe]

Fellow Netters,

	With this discussion of refrigerated traps and pumps for gel drying,
thought I'd put in my 2-cents worth.

	We have two FTS-system Multi-Cool Refrigerated traps on two separate
gel dryers and they satisfactorly protect the pumps *if* we perodically change
the oil.
