Show HAS DETECTOR OF DEATH GAS Chemist Discovers Means of Disclosing Carbon-Monoxide Carbon-Monoxide WILMINGTON. Dela . Sept. 23. A new machine for the detection of carbon car-bon monoxide gas at low concentrations concentra-tions has been developed by Guy B. Taylor, chemist of the du font company, com-pany, and H. S Taylor, associate pro- ! fessor of chemistry at Princeton onl- verslty. This is a gas which has proved fatal to scores of motorists who havo attempted repairs to their autos in their private garages In tip-sthter tip-sthter time, when the doors have been shut. Announcement of the new apparatus appara-tus was made at the meeting in Pittsburg Pitts-burg recently of the American Chemical Chem-ical society. The machine can be used not only for the determination of carbon monoxide or dioxide, but la applicable to other gass and other concentrations when suitably modi- 1 fled. The new machine, it Is aald. not only detects but records continuously tho presence of carbon monoxide. In principle It consists of mixing continuously con-tinuously measured volume of gas and a liquor reagent and measuring the resulting electrolytic conductivity change of the solution. Its novelty lies In the method of securing accurate accu-rate control of tho volume of the two liquids mixed. |
