I had to get all the way to adulthood to learn that this was an electrical device. As kids we thought the harder we stomped on the hose the louder it was. So my three brothers and I would be seen stomping on the hose arguing who made it the loudest. Great series Mr. Pete.

I remember that sound very well! The very first job I had as a boy was at a full service gas station and we had one of these Milton bell's! I worked the full service pump's gassing up folks cars and airing up tires, checking batterys, etc. Whatever the customer asked for! I also worked in the light service bay. It was a neat experience looking back. A full service station with an attendant was already a rare thing when I did it, I'm glad I was a part of that history.

Everything from repairing cars to driving the wreckers after some basic training. We naturally had one of those bells, but I never gave it a thought, I just plain worked. In the winter we had to bring the hose in so the snowplow wouldn't drag it away and ruin it. Good times.

My grandfather had a feed store and sold feed for livestock, horses, dogs, etc. He also sold baled hay. The feed store was in a huge barn across the yard from my grandparent's house. Anyway, he had one of those signals with the bell attached to the side of the house so if he was working in the shop or doing some around the house, he could tell when he had a customer. There was enough space between a fence and the end of the hose for the grandkids to ride there bikes. If grandpa made a special trip away from what he was doing only to find one of us had rode over the hose, he was none to happy and we were the receivers of his unhappiness! The good one days . . . the late '50s!

He would come out yelling at us in Italian. Its probably a good thing we didn't understand Italian. Back then that was fun.

I like the series. I worked at several gas stations in my teens and remember dropping whatever I was doing to pump gas whenever that bell rang. For some reason I remember them giving two quick chimes for each axle. It would be Ding-ding, followed by Ding-ding after a second or so. Perhaps the rod I. The selinoid would bounce. If you have an old tireflator where you would set your pressure in the window by cranking the handle on the right hand sided, then put air in your tire until the bell stopped ringing, I would love to see that taken apart.

The day after I watched this video, I went to my local Tire Shop. Pulled up, ran over the familiar black rubber hose, heard the familiar "Ding". On closer examination, that hose still had that "bolt in the end" to close the hose. But the OTHER end, now has some kind of blue tooth transmitter. No physical connection to the shop. And the "Ding" is a solid state recording, or it's a generated tone. Sounds like the same "Ding" that Mr Pete and I used to hop on with our Schwinn Sting Rays. Thanks - Lumpy

Terrific idea for a new series! When I was young back in the early 60's every gas station, A&W Root Beer stand and Ice Cream shop had one of these. We had a dutch uncle who ran a mortuary in town who wanted to install one of these but my folks always thought that would be in bad taste. LOL. I can think of several things you could feature in this series... old lawnmower points and condenser vs elec ignition; 2-cycle vs. 4 cycle (I think your original "how does a steam engine work" with the cutaway teaching aid is one of your best informative videos); coke machine coin changers (how do they make correct change mechanically); mechanical belt-driiven torque converters and what causes the speeds to change automatically, etc.. I had one of these on my Tote Goat minibike when I was a kid and thought it was magical. Always wanted to install one on a drill press by the way to see if it would work in that application. There are so many common simple mechanisms from my early years that today's kids will never be exposed to unless someone shows them. Any rate, thanks again Mr Pete! I look forward to future vids in this series. Keep 'em coming!

Great video. Having grown up in the late 80s/early 90s, there really wasn't any full service gas that I can remember.

I'll be sure and comment on this since its the first in a series. To me you can upload anything and i'll watch it, dosent matter if its a road trip, mystery tool or some video about how some stuff works. Just figured i'd say this and let you know that even though alot of your viewers might not comment to often they still do watch everything that you upload to youtube. J.S /Sweden.

I used to jump that bell at the Local Texaco station just like you did. I also remember free air from a hand crank adjustable pressure regulator it wasn't very accurate but at least the air didn't cost $1 like it does now.
