Pressure-Operated Farm Gate FENCING Gates 25-5-37 Aircraft engineer Theo Stubbe invented this first-of-its-kind pressure-operated mechanism for opening farm gates.

The wheel of a vehicle û or a person walking û puts pressure on the pad, activating a mechanism in the post that rotates a lever at the top of the post, opening the gate.
