Abstract:
A direct reading tank gauge is made of plastic tape or thin metal in an endless loop. Measuring indicia are applied to one surface of the tape in a display tape assembly. An armature is fixedly mounted to the tape. A tank float is magnetically coupled to the armature, which follows the float and fluid level. A hinged window enables visual observation of tape indicia representing the position of the float, armature and liquid level and removal of the entire display tape assembly for service or repair.
