HOW TO READ
Your Gas Meter

MODERNIZE WITH GAS

There is nothing mysterious about the reading of a gas meter The ability to read a meter
will acquaint patrons with the rate with which gas is being consumed on their premises A
meter also is valuable in detecting leaks
The accompanying illustrations shows what is known as a four dial meter such as is
In common use The small dials at the bottom are disregarded in reading meters
EASY TO READ A METER
To read the above meter first take the dial at the left marked 1 million It is divided
into 10 parts of 100000 each Look at tho pointer It is between the numbers 1
and 2 So put down the number 1 which the pointer has just passed
The second dial is marked 100 Thousand having 10000 to each division The
pointer is just past the cipher so put down the cipher after the 1 from the first dial
and you have 10
The third circle is marked 10 Thousand each division representing 1000 cubic
feet Put down the number the pointer has just passed which is 8 and you will have the
number of thousand feet consumed 108
The last dial to the right Is divided into 10 sections of 100 each The pointer has just
passed 4 so the complete reading is 108400
The West Texas Gas Co however reads the meters for billing purposes in even
thousands so you would be billed for the month for the difference between 108000 and
tho previous months reading Von can cheek your gas consumption at any time during
the month by comparing the previous months reading given on your gas card with tha
present state of meter
LOWER DIALS ARE USEFUL
Th Iower dials w nelP VOu determine whether there are leaks In your pas pines
or in finding the rate at which any of your gas appliances is consuming gas
To find leaks turn off all gas outlets tightly and then note whether the hand on one
of the lower dials move If it doos there is a leak somewhere But DONT LOOK FOR THE
LEAK WITH MATCHES Use a heavy soap suds on the connections and see whether tho
gas bubbles through Then if you dont know how to mend the leak yourself call a plum
ber for gas leaks are dangerous and expensive
The rate of any gas appliance may be determined by shutting off all other outlets
and then noting how long it takes tho appliance to consume a certain number of cubic
feet of gas
The West Texas Gas Co Service department always is glad to cooperate with con
suniers to the end that they may obtain the greatest possible heat return from the gas
winch they purchase
