1959 Coin Operated Gas Pumps


Coin Operates Pump At Self-Service Gas Station

What next?  In Sweden, a new idea is a coin-operated fuel pump.  Such self-service pumps have been installed at many service stations and are made especially for motor scooters and other small vehicles.  The driver simply pulls his scooter alongside the pump, deposits one or more coins and helps himself to as large a quantity of petrol-and-oil mixture as he needs.

This was in the August 1959 edition of Popular Mechanics magazine
