PREPARING '42 MODEL
VIEW-A-SCOPE
It is reliably reported from a
source close to officials of Auto­
matic Games, Chicago manufac­
turers, who successfully intro­
duced “ V ie w -A -S c o p e ” the
thrilling third dimension film
machine, that the 1942 model
View-A-Scope will be announced
within 30 days.
to be considerably lower. That,
in itself, is good news to oper­
ators. Lower cost means greater
profits.
Due to the material situation
created by the U. S. defense pro­
gram, the new View-A-Scope
will be produced from materials
which will not conflict with pri­
orities. This will assure oper­
ators a steady source of supply
for the new model, as the de­
mand is expected to top the vol­
ume produced on the present
model.
In design and attractiveness,
the 1942 View-A-Scope will be
ultra streamlined. The size will
be more compact. However, new
operating features will be incor­
porated which will give it extra
play appeal in countless num­
bers and types of locations.
