Because of the great success of Mills Cherry Bell , Watling featured ~he rri es on his
"Rol- A- Top" s hown above . Then, in addition, because O. D. Jennings so str ong emphasized
his triple jackpot , Johnny Watling renamed this slot, " New Diamond Bell" and added a
large center jackpot to the re~ular Twin Jack Pot of the Rol- A-Top . In fact , the words,
"Twin Jack Pot", can be seen above painted over . This machine , too , entered into the
new decade as one of Watling ' s top sellers . Watling Manufacturing Co ., Chicago, was
one of the very first coinfactories to plunge into all out war production.

Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
