When a lever is thrown one way, doors open and drawbridges "raise" (sealing any path they block); when the lever is thrown the other way, the reverse happens, the doors sealing and the drawbridges opening. Clever use of this fact can allow liquid to fill a "measuring reservoir", which then seals the input while being emptied. Once all the liquid is emptied, the lever is thrown again, the outflow seals, the inflow opens, and it refills to its full capacity, ready to deliver another pre-measured dose of liquid. |
