Exhibit description

Through this gas meter, gas flows like blood through a heart. This device was used in houses heated with gas. As it flowed through the gas meter, the gas filled two bellows in succession, which moved alternately and powered the measuring instrument. The meter then accurately calculated the gas used to heat the house.

The cross-section of the device allows us to look inside and find out what types of mechanisms are hidden behind the steel casing.
