I.G.FARBEN WAS THE PRIMARY MANUFACTURER BUT THERE WERE OTHERS LIKE THYSSIEN WHICH IS STILL IN BUSSINESS HERE AND IN Germany. The Nevada prison system invented the gas chamber in 1924. A man named Gee Jon, who was a member of a Chinese-American crime syndicate, was to be executed for murder at the Nevada State Prison. At the time, they were attempting to find a more humane way to execute criminals in Nevada, and someone came up with the idea of using cyanide gas. They first tried putting a hose in his cell at night and piping in the gas. Gee survived this because the gas escaped through the bars of his cell. (History does not state what happened to the other inmates.) Their next attempt was to put Gee in a closet and pipe the gas into it. This worked fine.
