	When taking a reading on a flow meter, do you use the top of the float, the bottom of the float, or the widest band on the float to find the true reading?

	If your float is round, read it in the middle. If it's sorta wedge shaped, read it at the top. __________________ "Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it." Elwood P. Dowd

	Read it at the same place where zero is calibrated at. __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto
