BTW The Mississippi Steamboat world used a series of 3 vertical cocks on their steam boilers for same idea - to maintain correct fluid level.
Depending on whether you got water, steam or nothing at all - you added feed water, drained off excess feed water or headed for the hills, before the boiler exploded.
You started from bottom cock up as the steam and hot water would squirt on the cock below making it hot and slippery.
So-o-o as we are always learning - hopefully without the explosions ! - IH staggered the upper cock so's the lower one doesn't get all messy on you when you are trying to see if the poor old thing has any lube oil in it.
IH was right, judging from my own hard-learned experiences, one Dip-Stick on a tractor is enough !
