Abstract: History perhaps does not record the first liquid meter. Ancient Chinese Art Illustrates our first recorded instance of the design which lead to positive displacement meters. More than 6,000 years ago, the Chinese used the water wheel Fig. 1. This was simply a device with crude buckets attached to the circumference of a wheel, with the bottom of the wheel immersed in water, and the top segment aligned with a bamboo pipe. The water wheel of course, was used primarily for moving water to the fields for irrigation. History does not tell us whether the war lords exacted a tribute for the volume of water used. But that may very well have been possible.
