ABSTRACT A liquid product delivery and accounting system employs a supervisory console incorporating a microcomputer, keyboard and printer, which console is electronically connected to one or more volumetric meters. In a delivery-truck embodiment, a driver con- nects a portable RAM card to an office computer, downloading de- livery route information to the RAM card. The driver then carries the RAM card to his truck and uploads the route information from the RAM card to the console. After printing a route ticket and start-of-shift totalizer values, the driver starts on his route. Each delivery is actuated through and controlled by the console. The parameters of each delivery may be altered by keyboard entry of information by the driver into the console, although access to many items requires entry of a correct code. At the end of the delivery, the console calculates the price, tax, etc., and prints a sealed invoice for the customer. At the end of the route, an end-of-shift totalizer ticket is printed. Actual delivery infor- mation, downloaded after each delivery into the RAM card, is uploaded back to the office computer. In a truck loading-dock embodiment, a customer/driver inserts an account identification module into a dock-mounted console to allow delivery of liquid products to his truck. An invoice is printed for the driver and transactional data is communicated directly to a mainframe compu- ter. Temperature compensation, volumetric and price presets, automatic dwell/shutoff valve control and various security features are offered.
