OverviewExcerpt from First Annual Report of the Geological Survey of Ohio: Third Organization There are no gas meters made that are able to take account of the gas required by large works, or that is passing through main pipe lines; but to the new gauge, such measurements are as easy as the determination of the amount used by a cook stove or a grate. The largest meters that are in market are so expensive that this fact alone for bids their adoption for any thing like general use, but the new gauge takes away all excuse from gas companies or municipal gas boards for disposing of the precious fuel that has come into their hands, with the ignorance and reckless extravagance that have hitherto prevailed. They can at least know what they are doing. It must be added that several of the companies and boards of trustees having the largest amounts of gas at their disposal have already availed themselves of the new system. The new gas rates of Findlay for manufacturers are based on measurements made by the Robinson gauge, and which were executed in part by the officers of the Geological Survey.
