The Detection and Measurement of Inflammable Gas and Vapour in the Air, originally published in 1896, provides a detailed exploration of techniques for identifying and quantifying the presence of hazardous gases and vapors. Authored by Frank Clowes and Boverton Redwood, this book offers insights into the methodologies employed at the time for ensuring safety in environments where such substances pose a risk.
With a dedicated chapter on the detection and measurement of petroleum vapor, the text addresses a critical aspect of industrial safety relevant to the late 19th century. This historical work serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of safety practices and the scientific approaches used to mitigate risks associated with inflammable substances.
