Exhibit description
The German-made gas meters, once popular in Poland, featured mysterious “flames”. This is how the throughput of this bellows gas meter is defined – its rating plate indicates that it amounted to ten flamme, meaning flames.
An additional description visible on the casing helps to solve this mystery. It explains that ten flames mean one and a half cubic meters per hour. How many flames does the throughput of your gas meter have?
