Hello again, Been awhile.
On the above pump of mine, the mid-frame or bulkhead is made of sheetmetal. A fellow gas geek I know has one too, but his is cast metal. When did they go to sheetmetal. Jack Sim would probably know. Thanks.

I have a West Coast Manufactured San Francisco 850 with the same stamped steel center. All the square body 850/950 have a stamped center also.

No recorded record of this, probably in 1931 when they changed from a chain drive to the complete new interior pumping method.

Thanks Guys,Guess Tokheim thought cheaper is better! My freind I mentioned drug his out of a farmers junk pile, along with a Gulf porcelin model with the stepped stainless top like a 36B but shorter. Only thing the one door is missing.Even had the old style good gulf pump plate!! What a find!
Regards.
