This line drawing shows three standard Mason-style canning jars: two with two-piece metal lids (flat disc plus screw band) securely fastened, and one with the lid removed to reveal the rim and sealing surface. The lids feature a rubber sealing compound and a hinged clamp-style band for easy opening, typical of reusable canning systems. The illustration emphasizes correct alignment and tension for achieving an airtight seal during processing.
