Agreed Boyd. I don't know how to gauge Bob's responseWell, the USGS doesn't agree, they call them "gages" and that is how they are labeled on the topo map (look at the screenshot you posted).
USGS Streamgaging Network | U.S. Geological Survey
The USGS Groundwater and Streamflow Information Program supports the collection and (or) delivery of both streamflow and water-level information at approximately 8,500 sites and water-level information alone for more than 1,700 additional sites. The data are served online—most in near...www.usgs.gov
No big deal, either way is correct, but why include a silent letter in a word when it isn't needed?
.
You guys agree because you are old fuddy-duddies. But I'm right on this, and you are not. And either way is not correct. If you are measuring something it's gauge. You better go back to school.

You mean like School, why isn't it Scool? Go to school and tell your teacher it's scool, see what she says.

Boyd and I shall remain triumphant in this battle.
Why does the USGS use the spelling "gage" instead of "gauge"? | U.S. Geological Survey
The spelling of “gage” is part of our very rich USGS history. We have used that spelling for over a hundred years. In 1888, USGS Director John Wesley Powell met a very forward-thinking graduate student named Frederick Haynes Newell. Powell was so impressed that he made Newell the first...

"Newell is purported to be the person responsible for the adoption of the USGS spelling of “gage” instead of “gauge”. Around 1892, Newell reasoned that “gage” was the proper Saxon spelling before the Norman influence added a 'u'. USGS historian Robert Follansbee speculated that Newell might have also been influenced by the adoption of “gage” in the Standard Dictionary (the first dictionary produced by Funk and Wagnalls)"
Newell reasoned wrong. He's not an english major, he was a USGS flunky. You do not remain triumphant, you remain incredibly wrong here.
Hey, look at all these pressure gages for sale (er, I mean gauges).
When he was still working I wrote Jerseyman's relative who was in charge of the gages and asked abut the pipe into the water. I found they were pumping out air causing bubbles in the water. He wrote this back to me.
The pipe that goes into the stream at the Pump Branch gage is bubbling
compressed air into the stream. By monitoring how much pressure it take to
push a bubble out, we can measure the water level. The solar panel runs a
small air compressor.

Teegate, we use the same apparatus (bubbler system) to determine level as well as turn pumps on/off in municipal wastewater pumping stations.
Geez Bob... I honestly don't care enough to argue about something this ridiculous. Spell it however you like and be be happy.
Don't take it like that, I had great fun debating it last night.
"Exclusively in technical uses" means used there and nowhere else, but does not mean 'used in all cases' within the technical field. It's like the metric system; a bunch of american hardheads refuse to go along with the rest of the world. I used to work in a machine shop, and the federal metric push was on in the late 70's, but resistance was just too strong.

NASA Finally Goes Metric
When NASA returns astronauts to the Moon, the mission will be measured kilometers, not miles.
I am finishing up my big Northeast USGS 24k legacy topo map (over 2,600 quads) and am using the USGS 100k and 250k maps as you zoom out. Was looking at elevations on the USGS 100k topo's and they were all wrong for some reason... then I realized they were metric. I suppose they started the project in the 70's and were confident the US would switch to metric in the future. It's pretty funny, I used to carry a copy of this map around with me in the pines in the days before GPS. Never noticed that it was metric even though it clearly says so in the title!
The reason Europe has metric is because they have ten fingers and ten toes and they like to count on them. I do my work in octal and hexadecimal. I only used metric when dealing with in nanometers to angstroms.

I was checking out one of these last week, right here, although this is clearly a different one than the OP. Right by the road. Looks like there's a few on the McDonalds Branch.
As you can see, a real talented artist did some work on the door.
There's an empty attached metal shed with a gas line hookup running to it. I assume that has something to do with the bubbler system?
