GASOLINE AND OIL PUMPS

Shotwell STANDARD OF ACCURACY

A complete line of measuring pumps and storage tanks for handling gasoline, lubri- cating oils, kerosene and paint oils in public and private garages, factories, mercantile places and railroad storehouses.

Curb pumps, portable wheel tanks and in- side pumps for garage service, first floor and basement outfits, paint oil systems for stores and factories, and lubricating oil storage equipment for dealers, is in- cluded in the SHOT- WELL line.

You will find in the SHOTWELL system these advantages over other meth- ods. They do away entirely with the old rack and pinion action and the return stroke. They are operated by a continuous forward stroke. .. By eliminating the return stroke their speed is increased 50% over the old style meas- uring pumps. Accuracy of measurement is guar- anteed. The contact surfaces are completely enclosed and protected from dust. They dis- charge positive quantities which can neither be increased nor decreased through negligence or design.
