Air was purified and dried by reagents similar to those used in the purifica- tion of the nitrogen, in the towers G, H, I, J, K. The hydrochloric-acid apparatus was constructed wholly of glass with either ground or fused joints, while the nitrogen and air purifying trains had short rubber connections only at the beginning. Glass gridifons at suitable points gave sufficient flexibility to the apparatus. Ground joints were made tight by means of either concentrated sulphuric acid or with syrupy phosphoric acid. A portion of the cadmium ammonium chloride, contained in a weighed plat- inum boat in the hard-glass tube W, was heated gradually to fusion in a current of hydrochloric-acid gas and was kept fused until all the ammonium chloride.
