Abstract

170,990. Fletcher, H. Aug. 26, 1920. Differential speed indicators; measuring motor fuel-distance rate.-A motor-vehicle fuel-consumption indicator showing mileage per gallon comprises a vehicle-rotated coned pulley e driving a friction wheel : i threaded on a screwed spindle h rotated from the shaft of the pulley e by gearing f and a slip clutch m. The screwed spindle drives the fuel-supply pump by means of spurwheels j, k, so that when the supply is in excess of requirements the spindle is retarded and the wheel i travels to the left, where its rotation due to the coned pulley is less. The wheel i is pressed towards the right when in its stationary or zero position by a spring o. A counter may be fitted to register the number of strokes of the fuel supply pump and therefore the total quantity of fuel used.
