Abstract
Indicating means are preferably provided to indicate to the operator whether a valve means on each side of an outlet is in open or closed position. This indicating means comprises an indicating lever attached to a peripheral portion of a valve shaft and engaging indicating shafts which extend to one or either side of the outlet. A pivot point is provided on the indicating lever to cause the indicating shafts to move in opposite directions as the valve is opened and the indicating lever is moved. If an indicating shaft projects outwardly from the side of the outlet, the attendant knows the valve means is in open position.
