1941
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y.-The un-
daunted courageous spirit and splendid for-
titude of the British in the raging and
bitter struggle, the calm certainty of ulti-
mate victory- never doubted in the first
place-has been further revealed in a let-
ter to William Rabkin, of International
Mutoscope Reel Co., from the head of one
of England's leading coin machine firms.
Almost a month in crossing the seas, the
letter said, in part:
"Since your letter was written after the
fall of Sidi-Barrani we have confirmation
of the fall of Tobruk. Boy, those Italians
must be busy trying to catch up with their
horses. I wonder if we give the captured
admirals and generals the kind of banquets
you used to give us on ·our visits to the
States?
"You would be greatly surprised if you
could see our people over here. Everybody
smiles and 'wisecracks' the same as ever
and go about their business just as they
did • before the war. Depression is not
known in this country and we certainly
have no room for it here. We are abso-
lutely confident of the outcome and the
results of this terrific struggle. The next
six months will bring such results that
will surprise the world.
"Well, that is how we feel about it." ♦

CHICAGO-Discussing market trends,
Bally Mfg. Co.'s President Ray Moloney
recently stated that demand for console
equipment is increasing daily as the spring
season approaches. "This is . particularly
true of the Bally Big-Top console bell
which is now in operation in practically all
sections of the country," he declared. "Op-
erators' reports prove that Big-Top steps
up earnings and gets locations other bells
are forbidden.''

CHICAGO-In keeping with their stand-
ing policy of "giving operators the game
they need at the time they need it," The
Daval Co. has introduced their newest
counter unit, Daval's "21." The device has
been underway for some time and the trade
has been anticipating it but, again accord-
ing to custom, presentation was withheld
until it was possible to make· immediate
deliveries on all initial orders.
"We were over-ordered when we dis-
played the machine quietly to our leading
distributors, and there is no doubt that
everyone of these men would have taken
our entire stock immediately. But," ex-
plained Executive Dave Helfenbein, "to
play fair with all of our men, we are equ-
ally sharing our first huge stock and there-
fore everyone will receive a like number of
machines; as our production gets further
underway we shall ship in huge quantities.
"The demand at the present time from
all of our distributors is that we ship in
cases of four machines each. They tell us
that Daval's "21" has taken the coun try by
storm, and as a result we have received
more initial orders on it than we have on
machines which have been on the market
for some mon ths."
Developed in an experimental depart-
ment which does nothing but follow the
suggestions forwarded by operators, job-
bers and distributors from the standpoint
of making it easier to operate any Daval
game, Daval's "21" is said to have simpli-
fied routine to the point where the average
operator can place three times as many of
the machines and service and collect them
faster than he did in former years with a
third the number.
Some comparisons have been made be-
tween the old Reel "21" game and the new
Daval's "21." According to men who assem-

bled both, there is actually no comparison.
Daval's "21" not only features the automa-
tic coin divider and two extra-large separ-
ate cash boxes, but it is also much smaller
in size, simpler in construction, and more
attractive in appearance than Reel "21" .
The newer game's smaller size provides a
more tantalizing action, and its precision·
building is a major improvement, these
workers declare.
Executives of the firm indicate that ad-
vance earning-tests proved the smaller game
to be a bigger moneymaker than Reel "21"
-which, they admit, is "saying something"
in view of the record the earlier game
made as the greatest counter-unit earner
of all time.
Features of the equipment, in addition
to large, divided cashboxes, include a ball
gum vendor built right into the machine so
that it is easily discernible, and fully-
protected shutters which require the player
to follow in rotatron or otherwise the but-
tons will not work, it is claimed.
There are no screws, nuts or bolts to
take out of the Daval mechanism to remove
it from the cabinet; a simple, spring-
controlled release lever slides the works
into the operator's hand where he can
adjust it without need for special tools.
The mechanism itself carries an uncondi-
tional two-year guarantee, executives point
out.
