Brochure Advertising the Xacto Sentry Pump Outfit with Type "C" Tank and Fittings, 1929
Add to SetSummary
S.F. Bowser & Company's Xacto Sentry gas pump brought a new level of accuracy to fuel measurement when it debuted in 1928. The pump's positive displacement meter measured gas by pumping it against a series of pistons that, in turn, moved the clock face gauge. The gauge only measured the quantity of fuel pumped. The attendant calculated the total sale price.
