With the water‐meter arrangement as set up in the Washington, D.C., area, a water meter can be located within a house and a remote reader attached to the outside wall, thus making it unnecessary for the meter reader to gain access to the home to obtain water‐consumption readings. To check the initial instal lation, a device was developed by which the register on the meter is actuated, just as though water were flowing through the meter, and it, in turn, operates the remote reader. If the registrations do not agree, the installer will know that the equipment is defective.
