The device could detect gasoline vapor, natural gas and combustibility.  The crew could test from 300 to 500 manholes daily. The device used a long copper tube (probe) that was inserted through the pick hole of a manhole cover to "sniff" for explosive gases.  Tests were made by driving up to a manhole and simply inserting the probe to draw a sample of the manhole atmosphere.  If explosive conditions were detected, they were immediately reported for remediation. The man in the blazer standing in the van appears to be Mr. Alvin Appel, an employee of the Sewer Maintenance Division.
