Invention From Atom City
WASHINGTON -From Oak Ridge,
Tenn.: Patent Number 494,230 ...
Oak Ridge, Tenn., one of the birthplaces
of the atom bomb ... and an invention. If
you were a fiction writer you wouldn't have
any trouble conjuring an eye-popping yarn.
But there happens to be a chap in Oak
COIN
Ridge who invented a machine that has
MACH INE nothing whatsoever to do with the feared
REVIEW
"A" bomb. His name is Frank U. Payne
and his invention is an eight-flavored drink
vendor. Capacity of the machine is 400
bottles.
Dispensing apparatus is con-
structed in units, and by changing cabi-
FOi
nets and number of units needed, the as-
AUGUST
sortment of flavors is thereby increased or
1946
decreased. Each dispenser is four inches
wide. The machine is air-cooled through-
out.

Conversions Pack Appeal
CHICAGO-When a plant starts w.orry-
ing about meeting demand before they turn
out full-scale volume of their product,
there's only one possible inference to be
drawn: it must be a hit.
Kruse & Connor's top artists, deriving
inspiration from the Alcatraz jail break,
have prepared 9-color conversions of Baily's
Rapid-Fire, Chicken Sam and Jail Bird
games.
"I've never met a man who does not like
to feel that he's another 'John Law', who
doesn't like to play his old boyhood games
of 'Cops and Robbers,'" says Ted Kruse. "I
know from my long experience as an opera-
tor that smart conversions of the high
quality of these new 'Bip:-Rock' scenes will
give needed blood infusions to many old
machines now getting little play."
Vend-O-Sales Makes Debut
London, England
Dear Mr. Blackford: .
Just a line to let you know that copies of
THE REVIEW are reaching us. The trade is
still a little quiet here as they all seem to
be waiting and marking time.
We had the Victory procession pass the
door and we had plenty of flags and bun-
ting flying, also quite a few callers for view
of same. Notice the two new stamps on
this envelope.
I shall write you a longer letter later,
so for now shall conclude with best wishes
and a Cheerio.
Harry Hooper
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The automatic
merchandising division of National Dis-
tributors, Inc., will henceforth be known
as Vend-O-Sales, and is being bannered by
the newly adopted slogan, "Quality Mer-
chandise Dispensed Mechanically."
Samuel F. Roth, president of the- cor-
poration, announced that all nationally-
advertised products, such as candies, cakes,
cigarettes, chewing gum and peanuts are
being vended in the attractive maroon and
gray machines. Present locations are in
the Washington, Virginia and Maryland
area.
Gentlemen:
Los Angeles
A word to let you know that THE REVIEW
is a constant source of valuable information
to me. It has answered many questions in
my mind; and given me many good ideas
relative to our business.
THE REVIEW is in my "must" class. I go
through it quickly when it arrives, marking
items of vital interest. Later THE REVIEW
is given a minute going over.
To tell all the value I have received from
THE REVIEW would be impossible.

Silent Sales Opens Branch
Non-Coin Games By Daval
BALTIMORE-Hundreds of coinmen at-
tended the grand opening of Silent Sales
System's new Baltimore branch here on
July 14.
Inaugural day featured a Personal Mu-
sic System in operation, as well as first
Baltimore showings of the new Vendit
candy machines, American Fortune Scales,
Columbus peanut machines, "Minit-Pop"
popcorn machines, Pace de luxe slot ma-
chines, and the new Columbia Double Jack
Pot slot machine.
Mack Dunie is manager of the new
branch, with Harry Levin, 20-year coinvet,
assisting.
CHICAGO-Non-coin operated games for
the coin machine operator!
To eliminate coin-game tax, Daval engi-
neers have rebuilt their pre-war American
Eagle and Marvel so that no insertion is
necessary. There is no coin chute or cash
box. The player pays when he finishes.
Location attendant starts it off by unlock-
ing the game's handle with a special key.
A register totals the play. The numbers on
the register are wiped out by re-inserting
the key. However, a concealed register
keeps a tabulation for check-up by the
operator.
Daval started full-scale manufacture of
the non-coin types when the Treasury De-
partment confirmed the no-tax feature.
The firm is also making delivery of these
games with coin apparatus.
Upper Left Wins
Punchboard Poll
DES MOINES-Now if some ingenious
chap would only invent a punchboard with
four upper-left-hand corners . . . .
No, this isn't a nightmare we're having;
it isn't even a daymare. We're referring to
the recent psychological experiment by stu-
dents of Drake University. To determine
which section has wider appeal and is
punched more often, a sales board was
passed among the students; of 1,150 punch-
ers, 318 selected the upper left-hand corner.
Dr. Herman F. Brandt explains this
pfienomena thusly: the upper left part of
an area has greater visual interest than any
other and proves that the manual pattern
parallels the ocular pattern-as confirmed
by previous research.
As we were saying, if only some in-
genious chap would invent a punchboard
with four upper left _hand, coiners . . . .
