Canada

Type of gasoline pump that could have been found in Canadian localities selling gasoline.

Fonction

This one was used on a farm to pump gasoline into vehicles. Probably used earlier in front of a business.

Technique

Curb side pumps were introduced around 1905 as an improvement to provide gasoline but they had no meters. They were installed in front of business, by the road. In 1911, G & B introduced its first measuring gasoline pump. Other manufacturers had been doing so earlier. A meter and a hose had been added so that gas could be measured and also pumped directly into the automobile gas tank. Insurance companies and local government saw the curb locations as a hazard and manufacturers had to think of another solution.
