The chemical warfare service of the War and Navy Departments carried out experiments of this sort by passing air and gas through a bed of charcoal, collecting about a dozen samples of the gas-air mixture after it went through the charcoal, and submitting each sample to a tedious chemical analysis called titration. Dickinson s method was at least a hundred times faster and gave much more information than the traditional army method.
