Just for info RR & MaureeninNY & others.

I suspect that Arthur would have helped the collector emptying the gas meters. The householder would put money in the slot turn the key & the money would drop into a box below registering how much gas you could use for that amount of money.

I would guess that they were phased out during the 1970's

Apparently the gas meters are still 'alive and kicking' today for some people Mr. Magoo !!
