Patent ID: 7775422

Claim:
A meter, comprising: a meter body; an electrically operated meter register having a sealed body attached to the meter body, wherein the meter register measures a quantity of material passing through the meter having a driving means, wherein the meter reading register system comprises: a signal generating means located in said register body and adapted to generate a signal and to be driven by the driving means; a signal receiving means located in said register body and adapted to receive the signal of said signal generating means and to convert the received signal to an electrical signal; first means located in said register body and adapted to receive the electrical signal to cause a first representation of the material passing through the meter; second means located in said register body and adapted to receive an electrical signal to cause a second representation of said material passing through said meter; said first means including a digital display and said second means comprising an odometer and a first stepper motor coupled to said odometer, and said signal receiving means including microprocessor means for operating said digital display of said first means and said first stepper motor and said odometer of said second means for visually indicating a representation of said quantity of material passing through said meter; said digital display and said odometer arranged within the meter register for simultaneous viewing of said representation of a quantity of material passing through said meter; and a power source contained within the register body, said power source providing power to the stepper motor and the digital display.
