GAS PUMP TRIVIA #33


GAS PUMP TRIVIA QUESTION #32:

Name at least three different U.S. manufacturers of gasoline pump meters and/or computer registers that produced meters or computers between 1935 and 1965?

ANSWER #32:

A correct answer could include any of the following companies and several others that are not listed: Aqua Meter Systems, Buffalo Meter Co., Erie Meter Systems, Pittsburgh Equitable Meter Co., Milestone Meter Co., Neptune Meter Co., Veeder-Root, Inc., etc.

We only had one correct answer this month, so apparently the question was a little too difficult. This month’s winner of the Scotty’s Garage/Time Passages, Ltd. gift certificate is Tim from Michigan. Thanks for your correct answer Tim. Good luck to everyone next month and thanks for playing Gas Pump Trivia.
