This style gasoline dispenser used a hand operated pump to move gasoline from the storage tank into the visible cylinder at the top of the pump. Once the cylinder was full the customer would then place the gas nozzle into the tank of his automobile. A valve on the pump would then be opened to allow gravity to fed gasoline into the tank. The amount of gasoline dispensed into the tank would be measured by the amount removed from the cylinder. These pumps were used from the early 1900’s until advent of the electric pumps.
