“…A typical apparatus (162, 333) designed for detection of war gases is so arranged that disturbance of the bridge balance by alteration of the conductivity of the liquid between the electrodes causes one of two lamps to light, one for clear, the other for danger. Gases and vapors which are similarly determined include carbon monoxide (61), carbon dioxide (61,129), carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxides, phosgene, lewisite, phosphorus trichloride, chlorine, sulfur dioxide (181, 525), and ammonia. Some un-ionizable samples require oxidation to a form which will ionize readily (61,121,163,213).…”
