various types o f coin operated ma­
chines. A t present, the Vanak is be­
ing made only in five-cent size.
A new type o f coin selector has been
perfected which will refuse slugs o f
the same weight, size and metallic
content as real coins. It is announced
in this issue by the Vanak Corpora­
tion o f Charlotte, N. C. Coin ma­
chine manufacturers who have seen
it have been amazed by its simplicity,
compactness and its accuracy in de­
tecting clugs. The Vanak Coin Se­
lector weighs only 14 ounces and
measures only 4% inches in height
by less than two inches in thickness
and is only two inches in width.
Mr. A . A . Knee, vice president o f
the firm, demonstrated the device to
a number o f Chicago manufacturers
and also proved its effectiveness at
the A u t o m a t i c A ge offices. Mr. Knee
tried practically every known kind o f
slug and they were all returned. The
mechanical principle o f the Vanak
Coin Selector is such that it takes
the facial reading o f coins or slugs.
Since it would require a slug with al­
most the identical stamping as ap­
pears an real coins to cheat the de­
vice, it is considered slug proof for
all practical purposes. Slugs to de­
feat the Vanak Coin Selector would
be too costly to manufacturer.
The Western Electric Company
holds an option on the new selector
for use in telephones, according to
Mr. Knee. He also reports that a
number
of
manufacturers
have
wanted exclusive rights fo r its use on
