A rotary remote visual liquid quantity indicator allows a user to remotely determine the amount of liquid in a container, such as an accumulator on an aircraft. A flexible rotary cable assembly may be coupled between a rotatable drum and a remote indicator having a rotatable cap, the rotatable drum responsive to axial motion of a sweeper within the accumulator. Changes in the fluid level of the accumulator may be translated into rotational motion of the rotatable drum, which, via the flexible rotary cable assembly, changes a reading on a remotely located indicator.
