What you’re looking at
This page is not from a Victorian penny dreadful, but rather a scientific research article by L. E. Swearingen and L. H. Reyerson on chemical catalysis. It contains a graph (Fig. 2) showing the effect of flow rate on hydrogen and oxygen combination using platinum and palladium catalysts, and Table II presenting experimental data on a copper catalyst's ability to remove oxygen from a gas mixture at various temperatures. The table shows temperature, flow rate, and oxygen removal percentages from a test mixture containing 7% oxygen, 50% hydrogen, and 43% nitrogen.
