Abstract: 20,352. Berry, J., Glover, W. T., and Meters, Ltd. Sept. 30. Gas-meters.-In registering-mechanism for gas and like meters of the type in which means are employed to compensate for differences in pressure, the compensating-means is controlled by a weight adapted to move angularly to balance the gas pressure. As shown in Fig. 1, a supplementary movement is given to the differential gear train of the registering mechanism by pawls h, i carried by a bar g connected to a plunger c which is reciprocated by a crank d and connecting-rod e through a spring f. The extent of movement of the plunger c is controlled by a curved striking-plate b carried by a lever p connected by a link to a sliding member o. The sliding member o is connected through a lever n to a diaphragm a and by a chain q to a quadrant r secured to an arm s provided with a weight t.
