New Robot Teaches
Golf for 5c a Lesson
A new coin operated machine
produced by a well known Chicago
manufacturer and now exhibited
in the game room of a local hotel, is
attracting the attention of opera­
tors.
Installation of devices for in­
struction p u r p o s e s , as distin­
guished from those for amusement
only, is one of the major improve­
ments in the coin machine industry
today.
This machine presents a mechan­
ical model of a perfect golfer which
executes a complete slow motion
golf swing, showing at all points
the correct position and coordina­
tion of the head, shoulders, arms,
hips, legs and feet. The golfer is an
ingenious and attractive r o b o t
about 18 inches tall, electrically op­
erated by an intricate mechanism
hidden within the figure and in the
cabinet below. The robot itself is
made of metal with highly polished
chromium plated surface, placed in
front of a black velvet curtain and
illuminated by red and blue lamps
which enhance the movements with
variegated high-lights.
It is the expectation of the man­
ufacturer to put out these ma­
chines, first in golf clubs (both pri­
vate and publie) with an attaeh-
ment for vending an instruction
card. This card will set forth the
correct swing fundamentals with
illustrations of the body and club
positions at v a r i 0 u s important
points of the stroke, and in addition
will have a space for advertising
copy referring either to the resi­
dent professional or to the club,
or to hotels, amusement -pavilions
and sporting goods stores who may
also be interested in the advertising
value incident to a feature of this
kind. Units without the coin mech­
anism will be available for continu­
ous operation, particularly for win­
dow display of sporting goods
houses, or locations where it is de­
sirable to attract the attention of
people with sporting proclivities.
The machine was designed pri­
marily to appeal to a high class
clientele who have more than the
average amount of money to satisfy
their curiosity.
The basic features of the perfect
golfer machine are covered by U. S.
Patent No. 1703403, and other pat­
ents covering modification of the
device in all its forms are pending.
It has been developed as the result
of nearly ten years work, but its
presentation was postponed until
recently when several perfected
models were put on the market pre­
liminary to a nationwide sales cam­
paign now being promoted by its
makers.
