Image Description: | Fort Wayne, Indiana - A notice on the Tokheim Pump Company's 1930 Volunteer gasoline pump lists lead as a gasoline additive. Lead was added to gasoline in the 1920s to boost octane, and was removed late in the 20th century due to health concerns and lead's damaging effects on catalytic converters. The pump is on display at the History Center, a museum operated by the Allen County-Fort Wayne Historical Society in the former Fort Wayne City Hall building. |
