CORRECT MEASURE
NEW PETROL PUMPS AUSTRALIAN’S SUCCESSFUL INVENTION. LONDON, February 19. A new petrol pump, designed by an Australian, Frank Hammond, has been installed in the Royal garages at Windsor, Sandringham, and Marlborough House. It transpires that Dame Melba interested herself in Hammond’s invention and introduced him to professor Low. who pushed his interests and secured patents on behalf of Hammond. Its virtue is its unfailing accuracy, being correct to within eight drops. Tests with ordinary pumps revealed that the inaccuracies vary from a quart short to a quart over. The Board of Trade investigation revealed that Hammond’s retained its accuracy without inspection or adjustment.
