CROWN WATER METER,
ADOPTED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS,
NEW YORK CITY.
A POSITIVE ROTARY PISTON METER,
ACCURATE, DURABLE AND SIMPLE, HAVING
ONLY ONE WORKING PART.
In this new Meter will be found all the advantages of the best known Meters, and none of their defects. It is a positive displacement measurer. It forms no obstruction to the free flow of water. The dial face is always dry and clean, and the interior structure of brass and hard rubber renders corrosion impossible. We claim that it will register on a finer stream than any other Meter ever made. For Illustrated Circulars, giving testimonials, results of tests, etc., address
