I HENRY ANDERSON of No. 80 Northumberland Terraco Everton Liverpool in tho
county of Lancaster Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
-
The object is to provide simple apparatus readily and securely fixed in position for
enabling the flow of gas, past the ineter to bo increased and diminished and for
indicating the quantity of gas passing.
A regulator under my invention has a casing containing a pulley carried on a
spindle free to rotate in bearings in the said case. To the spindle or pulley is
attached a handle for actuating the said pulley and a chain or like flexible agent
attached to the said pulley and crossed over two guide pulleys is employed to give
motion to a tap or valve on the gas main or pipe through which it is desired to
control the flow of gas. A finger secured to the spindle indicates on a dial carried
by the case the position of the tap or valve and consequently the amount of gas
flowing through the main or pipo.
The case is secured in any convenient position by lugs or socket fastenings in any
convenient way.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front view and fig. 2 a vertical transverse section of a regulator
constructed in accordance with my invention. a casing. b pulley carried on a spindle c
free to rotate in bearings d in the case a. e handle attached to the pulley b. f guido
pulleys free to rotate on a spindle g secured to the case a. h wire cords attached to
the pulley bat i and passing in contrary direction over the guide pulleys f. The
free ends of the wire cord are carried forward and attached to a lever or suitable
agent adapted in any usual way to give motion to a tap or valve for controlling the
flow of gas. lugs for attaching the case a to a wall, partition or other structure.

Having now particularly described and illustrated the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
