I think this is an "E" cylinder.  The ones that are about 10 inches in diameter
and about 4 feet tall are "H" cylinders. Nitrous is legal to have around
if it is food grade like in whipped cream aerosols or if you buy the cylinders
for a restaurant sized whipped cream dispenser.  Those cylinders are about the
size of a CO2 cartridge for air guns.  
Medical grade nitrous is illegal unless prescribed and administered by a 
physician, dentist or someone working under the supervision of one.
Check out your local hospitals respiratory therapy dept. and bribe someone
to get you a cylinder.  They are the ones that usually store and change the
cylinders in the hospitals and records are loosely kept if at all.
