MECHANICAL DEPENDABILITY.
in
I t IS a fact, known by operators in Europe as well as in
Am erica, that a Rock-Ola Product is a dependable prod­
uct. O ne that gives a good account of itself in any and
every kind of location under any and every kind of con­
dition . . . This reputation for mechanical dependability is
especially noticeable in the A R M Y and N A V Y game.
Into its building has gone all the art and skill of mechanical
wizards. It is a finished job of super-engineering. Super­
performance. Super-satisfaction.
In all the annals of pin game accomplishment, there is
nothing to match the superb record of the A R M Y and
N A V Y game. Its fine construction reaches the very heights
of engineering. It stands out, in the clear light of day, as a
mechanism fashioned by the magic hand of genius . . . I
'A'Super Features: In the A R M Y and N A V Y game
you find such star attractions as a visible coin chute, twin-
scoring registers, an automatic ball-indicator, an engraved
metal door, a rubberless plunger, a regulated non-tilt

★ #/Reversible/# Skill A re a : Near the top, at the
approach to the general playing-field, are two "reversible"
skill pockets. O n e for A R M Y . O n e for N A V Y . A s each
of the pockets is made, it reverses sides. This makes the
play doubly-skillful and doubly-fascinating.
★ D o u ble - R e w a rd S ystem : The A R M Y and
N A V Y ’S scoring system is so different and so compelling
you will wonder why it was never thought of before. For
the first time, "double rewards” are used that have every­
thing else backed off the boards. These "doubles" have
all the pulling-power of double jackpots plus all the appeal
of the “ daily double" at the race tracks.
A n d the "double reward" idea is just one of the features
of the A R M Y and N A V Y ’S scoring systems.
device, and a giant-size cash box.

Beneath
the
board,
hidden from the eye, is a mechanical power-plant that
propels the "football" onto a moving playing-field and
sets the stage for action. It works like an electrical motor.
But there are no batteries. N o wires. N o contacts. It is
made from steel stampings only. A n d its unseen operation
gives the player the impression of a performance in magic.
lArMechanism: The entire mechanism is mounted in
one handy unit on the under side of the play board, which
makes it easy to get at.
Another fine thing is the specially designed series of "air
cushions” . These "air cushions” shield the working parts of
the mechanism against all stress and strain, and produce the
nicest running machine on the market.

'ArCabinef: The cabinet is a model of inspiring beauty.
Its smart, rich looks command the respect of location owners
everywhere. A n d its glowing bronze finish will stay like
new for months and months. W hat’s more, the cabinet is
just the right size for modem conditions: 20 inches wide,
40 inches long. Playing height, 433^2 inches.
Taken all in all, the A R M Y and N A V Y is the kind of
game you can place on location, with ease of mind, and
be sure it will stand up and work for you 2 4 hours a day
without let-up. Its peerless workmanship by Rock-Ola is
your guarantee of absolute mechanical dependability.
So step into the lead right now. Send for your A R M Y and
N A V Y ’S at once. Shoot them out on the “ firing-line” in
your territory. A n d , then, watch them come marching back
to you with the most glorious profits in the history of this
business. W rite, wire, phone, or come in to-day!
