The rod and bottle system (sometimes called the “wine butler”), shown in Fig. 1, is a common statics demonstration1 in the introductory level physics course. One is immediately attracted to it by the craftsmanship in wood. Thomas Carlyle wrote, “Two men I honour, and no third. The scholar and the craftsman.”2 This paper presents an analytic treatment of the system.
