ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are described for metering the flow of ink fed under pressure to a printing press. A positive displacement gear meter is interposed in the feed line supplying the ink to the press. The flow of ink through the meter causes rotation of the gears. The rate of rotation is monitored by a sensing device incorporated in the meter housing which generates pulses indicative of gear teeth rotating past the device. The pulses are transmitted to a counter assembly which processes the same and provides a read out of the amount of ink passing through the meter.
