Of particular interest is an extremely rare merchandiser called The Wembley Glide. This
is a single player machine, which features a unique clutch operated arm. After inserting a
coin, the player can then control the arm as it traverses across the turntable; stopping and
starting it by use of a lever on the front of the machine. This affords the player a fair
chance of developing a degree of skill in playing the game, and (from the punter's point
of view) is certainly an improvement on the total 'hit and miss' of other merchandisers!
Peter has one regular customer (a small boy) who has developed just the right 'knack' of
playing this machine ....... hopefully there are not too many like him!
R&W Helicopter Race. A firm favourite, especially with children!
