Abstract: A liquid dispensing system for dispensing fuel such as gasoline, for example, includes a nozzle to which is mounted an actuator controlled transducer. The extent of movement of the actuator from a rest position causes the transducer to produce a flow rate signal having a magnitude proportional to the degree of movement of the actuator. The flow rate signals are electrically connected to a remotely located controller which responds to the signals by providing driving signals for operating a proportional flow control valve opening for attaining the called for flow rate of fluid to be dispensed from the remotely located valve, through a hose, to the nozzle for dispensement therefrom.
