Mr. B. H. Butcher
Schlitz Brewing Company
Milwaukee 1, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Butcher:
I have been interested to learn about your problem of determining the oxygen in a gaseous mixture containing the atmospheric gases and a high concentration of carbon dioxide.
I do not see any reason why the oxygen meter that we developed during the war, which is now manufactured by the A. O. Beckman Company, should not provide a solution of your problem. The volume of 20 or 25 ml of gas available for a single test is large enough, and it should be possible to standardize the apparatus for the conditions under which you would use it in such a way that the oxygen could be determined with considerable accuracy, probably to within 0.1% of the amount of oxygen present. I am sure that the A. O. Beckman Company(820 Mission Street, South Pasadena, California) can give you advice on this point.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
