  Don't recall ever seeing anything like that.
  The one's I've always seen had a pump that was pushed that squirted out the
syrup, then one moved to the soda dispenser with a handle that was pulled forth
and back which put in the soda water.  After a squirt or two the mixture was
stirred a bit and more water added.

  When I was in high school (in Colorado Springs, CO) my evening paper route
was on the way home.  Thursday and Friday were collection days and Friday
evenings I stopped in at a drug store and at the fountain treated myself to a
two scoop hot fudge sundae, nuts, whipped creme and a cherry on top, for 49
cents.   Of course 49 cents isn't what it was 50+ years ago. (That would be
equal to $3.76 today, https://westegg.com/inflation/)
