While the lead-chamber process increased the amount of sulfuric acid that could be produced, it relied on a source of nitrate that usually had to be imported. The process also produced nitric oxide gas, NO, which oxidized to brown nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere. To reduce the supply of nitrate required and the amount of nitric oxide produced, Gay-Lussac proposed that the nitric oxide be captured in a tower and recycled into the lead chamber. Although Gay-Lussac first proposed this modification to the lead-chamber method around 1830, it was not until the 1860s that John Glover (1801-1872) actually implemented Gay-Lussac s idea with the Glover tower.

For an earlier example, see the relation between Gay-Lussac and John Glover concerning production of sulphuric acid. Cf W.A. Campbell, Industrial chemistry, in C.A. Russell, ed.. Recent Developments in the History of Chemistry (London Royal Society of Chemistry, 1985), p. 243. 

John Roebuck s sulfuric acid was only about 35-40% sulfuric acid. Later refinements in the lead-chamber process by the French chemist Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac and the British chemist John Glover improved this to 78%. However, the manufacture of some dyes and other chemical processes require a more concentrated... 

The Gay-Lussac tower in sulphuric acid plants was invented in 1827 but first used in 1842. The Glover tower, invented in 1859 by a chemical plumber, John Glover (Newcastle on Tyne 2 February 1817-1 May 1902), came into general use in Widnes in 1868-70. Gay-Lussac s son Jules worked with Pelouze on salicin and with Liebig in Giessen on paraffin. ...
