Abstract
A liquid level indicating system includes a plastic link chain suspended in a container extending between a high level position and a low level position of a liquid in the container. A weighing device is positioned above the high level position of the liquid for measuring the weight of the chain. An attachment device secures a lower portion of the chain to the bottom of the container with sufficient slack so as not to affect the operation of the weighing device.
