Gas Mechanical Dial Meter:

Your meter reading is 8419

A dial meter has a number of dials including one or two that are red, like the one above.

To read your meter, note the main numbers only from left to right.

Ignore any red dials.
Adjacent dials turn in opposite directions.
The number and position of dials may vary.
If the pointer is between two ﬁgures, always read the lowest of the 2 numbers (so if the pointer is between 5 and 6, the number you read is 5).
If the pointer is directly on a number, for example 7, look at the next dial to the right. If that dial on the right is between 9 and 0, you read 6 for the initial dial. If the dial on the right is between 0 and 1, you read 7 for the initial dial.
