registering; or, in the absence of (a);

(b) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration,

tests, or mathematical calculation; or, in the absence of both (a) and (b);

(c) by estimating the quantity of delivery by deliveries during periods under similar

conditions when the meter was registering accurately.

period of at least one year all test data, charts, and other similar records.
