This pinionmeshes with the larger gear G in such a ratio that for a totalrise or fall of the float the gear G moves through one revo-lution, and upon the outer face of the gear there is a dial sograduated that each division represents one barrel of oil (50gallons), so that by means of the stationary pointer H theamount of oil in the tank at any time is indicated. The lowersprocket wheel B is supported by a framework supported fromthe top of the tank, so that in case of a bulging of the tankdue to the air pressure the chain will not be unduly tightened.
