A watthour meter with a rotatable metering movement responsive to the flow of energy through the meter includes a gravity activatable contact or stop element to engage the metering movement when the meter is inverted for preventing deregistration of consumed energy. Latching means can lock the element in a position showing that the meter had been inverted.
