Default Cosworth breather systems explained

Can somebody explain what's going on in an uprated breather system on a YB, for instance the GGR and Spec R and baileys types? What's inside those tanks, chambers, baffles etc?
I understand that the pipes on either side of the block vent the lower crankcase and the vapour enters the collector, oil then condenses and then drains back into the sump below oil level, and the vapour from that tank collects in a catch tank/vents to air but what's needed inside that tank anything special or?
