same goes for the Caille Bros, floor machines.
The surviving ma
chine population suggests that Caille Bros, sold almost as many
floor machines as Mills did, although the known serials have much
smaller numbers.
The known Caille Bros, serials do not go over
1,000 for any machine type, suggesting the Caille just might have
assigned a different serial track to each model name, no matter
whether the mechanism was basically the same or not.
What is
needed here are serials that go over the 1,000 or better still the
5,000 mark, hopefully without duplications to demonstrate that
the serial track was straight line rather than by model. The easiest
proof will be with a Caille double or triple, with each machine
different.
For instance, if a double has a CENTAUR and an
ECLIPSE and the serial numbers are close it would suggest that
the serial track was for all floor machines.
is known doesn't tell
us this.
The one example that
The MUSICAL TWIN
that was auctioned off at the Arrington Auction
ECLIPSE
in 1978 was
serial numbered 664 and 666, but both machines were ECLIPSES.
But, if a triple has two CENTAURS and one ECLIPSE and the
CENTAUR serials are very close while the ECLIPSE serial seems
to be off on its own, we'll know that each model had its own
track. For my money, the serials that are known suggest a differ
ent track for each of the Caille Bros, floor machines as the known
CENTAUR serials are much lower than the known ECLIPSE seri-
ials, and the CENTAUR came out on the market at a later date.
