Abstract: A gasoline dispenser control and data system comprising a central office and a plurality of local stations, each station having dispenser control functions, data storage functions and communication functions. The station has a dispenser control mode and data entry mode. In the dispenser control mode a dispenser may be set to dispense gasoline, such dispensing of gasoline resulting in the production of pulses which are accumulated in a counter. The dispenser may then be reset for the next sale. Upon reset the counter is returned to zero, and the previous sale is stored in a temporary memory for recall and display, also being stored in two separate permanent memories, one of which is accessible to the station operator and the other of which is not accessible to the station operator. In the data entry mode the station operator can enter data into some but not all permanent memories. The station data system may be telephoned by the central office and each memory interrogated.

Abstract: A storage tank liquid level sensor for indicating levels of two immiscible liquids in the tank wherein a first magnet is carried by a float on top of one liquid and a second magnet is carried by a float on top of the other liquid, the first magnet operating a switch to indicate when the one liquid reaches a predetermined level and the second magnet moving a coded tape with respect to a read head in accordance with changes in the level of the other liquid, a transmitter to transmit data from the read head, a receiver for such data, an arithmetic logic unit to convert the data to binary coded decimals, a memory unit for storage of BCD data, and a display unit for selectively addressing the computer and displaying selected data.
