and two smaller windows of the same
kind lend a striking appearance to
the front of the structure. The out­
side walls are finished in white.
A small lobby is decorated in the
same motif as the exterior of the
building. The interior is patterned
somewhat after a duplex apartment.
To the left of the lobby is an im­
mense showroom. On the right are
the offices. The rear of the building
houses a completely equipped repair
repartment, assembling department
and shipping room.
“When I planned this building,”
Milt Green of the American Vending
firm pointed out, “I had in mind only
one thing—to place at the operators’
disposal a complete showroom of all
the latest games, and an up-to-date
service department for getting ma­
chines to them as quickly as possible.”
Gall It ‘‘Finished
Product”
In presenting “Black Magic”, their
automatic dice machine, to the indus­
try as a “finished product”, officials
of the Rock-Ola Manufacturing Cor­
poration point out several interesting
and important facts about the new
device,— facts that mean much to its
smooth operation. Its mechanism is
extremely simple and is said to be the
result of months of labor on the part
of Rock-Ola engineers. All unneces­
sary parts have been eliminated. Ev­
ery part of the unit fulfills a definite
job and no more.
One particular feature about “Black
Magic’s” mechanism that operators
are expected to appreciate is the ease
with which it is removed from the
cabinet. The entire mechanical unit
— all in one piece— slides out of the
cabinet, with one motion. It then can
be easily adjusted, oiled, or cleaned,
and just as simply placed back into
the cabinet. The battery compart­
ment of the machine is constructed
in such a way that the batteries, like
the mechanism, may be removed as a
single unit. All working parts are
said to be completely enclosed so that
nothing can interfere with their op­
eration.
According to Rock-Ola officials,
“Black Magic” was put through ex­
haustive tests both in the factory and
on location, the results of which
have convinced them that the machine
is capable of “standing up” under
even the hardest kind of use.
