Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history, design, and testing of liquid-measuring pumps, particularly those used in the sale of gasoline. Popular in the early 20th century, these pumps provided a convenient and safer method of dispensing gasoline than using open measures or cans. The author discusses the evolution of pumps from simple piston-type models to more advanced systems such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and meter-based pumps. He also emphasizes the importance of accurate measurement and fair trade practices, providing detailed instructions for inspectors on testing and sealing pumps to ensure their accuracy.
