It had two corrugated breathing tubes coming out of the backpack. Its duration on a fill was 2 hours. It had: * A heat-insulated tank containing 5½ pounds of liquid nitrox containing at least 50% of oxygen, which had to be filled immediately before use. * At the bottom of the backpack, a large canister filled with 2 pounds of what one description called "potash" and another description "soda". Colonel Wiliam Cuthbert Blackett introduced this Aerophor in the Durham area in 1910, and it was later improved by Messrs G.L.Brown and F.P.Mills. All or some of them were made by Guest and Chrimes Ltd. of Rotherham.
