Reader Wants to

Slugged Machines
With Ice
A French electrical firm was con­
vinced that one o f its consumers was
obtaining electricity fo r nothing thru
a franc-in-the-slot meter, but inspec­
tors could not discover how the elec­
tricity had been obtained, says T il
Bits. In despair, the consumer was
offered a monetary reward, when he
confessed that he had frozen water
in moulds to the diameter and weight
o f the coin normally used. A fter a
short time in the meter the ice melten
and left no trace.
I do not know whether or not your
pages are open fo r public discussion,
but I would greatly appreciate so mo
open views along this line either
through your columns or by letter.
W hat is to become o f the nickel mint
vender? W hat is the opinion of op­
erators and manufacturers in regard
to the future o f mint venders? Are
manufacturers and operators alike
going to sit still and see all states
rule against mint venders? I hope
to see something o f this nature dis­
cussed through your columns at an
early date, or to have your personal
views on this, it appears to me, al­
most important matter.”
Respectfully yours,
