non-cloggin g
coin
chute on new bowl-type game.
LOS ANGELES. -Neutron Engi neering
& Mfg. Corp. announce that they are now
in fu ll production on their Cal iente, new
seven-chute bowl-t; pe game with changing
odds, and de liveries and shipments are be-
ing made daily throughout the United
States.
John Rough, Jr , secretary of Neutron,
states: "When the production line was start-
ed on Caliente, many months of tremendous
engineering effort and experimenting on this
great money-making game came to a happy
ending. We cou ld have placed Caliente in
the hands of coin machine men several
weeks ago, but tbe po licy 'it is better to
be late than sorry' has been the by-word of
this company."
All parts of Caliente have been thor-
oughly tested, and Fred Cole and Ten nies
Kol ts, in charge of engineering and pro-
duction, burned gallons of "mid night oi l"
making thorough checks of all mechani ca l
and electrical parts.
" Furthermore," says John Rough, "Cal-
ien te is a perfect game from the standpoint
of percentage of payout. W hen this game
leaves the factory, th e payout is 'right.'
H owever, the operator can vary it merely
by throwing sma ll switches inside the cab-
inet."
Through a year of. tireless effort, Neutron
has built a non-clogging seven-way coi n
chute. Rough declares that operators posi-
tively do not have any trouble w ith coi ns
clogging in the chute. Game is designed
to provide max imum earning power with
minimum service call s.
