The measurements were for the following gasses: Nitrous Oxide, Cyclopropane (an anesthetic, no longer used due to its explosive properties), Carbon Dioxide, and Oxygen.

What a potent mixture, this looks like one of those old soda fountain dispensers (not soap) , that would make one hell of a milk shake!

That cyclopropane sounds like some scary stuff! Not only highly explosive, but real touchy to use.

Room air is 21% oxygen, The other 79% is made up of many different gases. Humans produce carbon dioxide when they breath.
If to much oxygen is in your system you will pass out until the Baro receptiors pick up the increased concentration of carbon dioxide and cause you to breath again. This is what happens when people hyperventilate. This is a fairly old type of anesthesia machine. Interesting to see it.
Thanks for the great pics.

The Mortality Rate was much higher when such machines and explosive gases were in use.
