People had long relied on hand-operated pumps to fuel their cars where electricity wasn't readily available. Attendants manually turned the crank to fill a glass tank above the pump with gasoline, monitoring the level closely. As soon as the desired amount was reached, they stopped cranking and inserted the hose into the car's gas tank. By opening a valve below the tank, gravity allowed the gasoline to flow from the tank into the vehicle's reservoir. Built nearly to scale, this model represents the traditional early 1920s-era gasoline pumps that relied on gravity for operation. Constructed with precision and historical accuracy, it showcases the distinctive details of the period. With a modest poly count, this low- to medium-resolution model utilizes multiple textures to replicate the real thing, offering users an authentic look at bygone days.
