I think the old petrol pump is more interesting.

This was in response to Neil's 'fascinating' post, Chris popped in with his while I was typing.

Are you sure that's a petrol pump Gibbo? It looks like a tyre pressure guage on my phone but the picture is rather small on here!!

Sorry about that, Gibbo!
I know that Lochearnhead junction well, having driven through there many times en route north.

Well there's a thing, I ran out of diesel at Lochearnhead with a caravan on the back - that would have been in the '70s. Fuel tank had a dent in the bottom causing the float to indicate 1/4 full.

Gentlemen focus on the Weighing Machine there is more to it than meets the eye. Immediately behind it on the wall is this wonderful relic of the ordinance survey's activities in that part of the world.

from
HISTORY

Flush bracket S5181 was emplaced around 1949. Levelled with a height of 342.317 feet, it was included on the Dunblane to Killin secondary levelling line. The surveyor's description was E face, 17' from NE angle of General Store, W side of road.

This flush bracket was relevelled and last verified in 1974. The OS Online Archive gives the description as building, W side of road, E face, 5.2m from NE angle.

You might be correct Mick, I just looked quickly at it and thought it reminded me of a wind up petrol pump I saw up in the Welsh hills years ago.
