That there shall be no misconception in respect of the scope of this paper, it seems necessary to amplify the above caption by saying that its not, nor does it pretend to be, an exhaustive technical treatise upon the subject of water meters, but is to be taken within the measure of its title, that is to say: the recital of personal knowledge and experience, with illustrations, tables, data and opinions, having direct and collateral relation to the development of the present state of the art. The more one has to do, and the more intimate he becomes with the water meter question, the more certain is he to be astonished at the amount of capital, persistent thought, time and labor that have been expended upon this branch of hydraulic engineering; which is well exemplified in the patent tables herein submitted, showing, with approximate exactness, the number and designation of United States and British patents that have been issued for inventions in water meters.
