Tokettes
Greenwald Industries has an -
nounced an improvement in the
design of its plastic T okettes so that
their re-use is impractical.
The plastic Tokette. which was
formerly broken into two pieces
when used , will now break into four
irregular pieces .
The new feature. which was
accomplished by redesigning the
score lines , is available for the larger
size Tokettes .
An added benefit of the new
design is that the T okette itself is
stronger, reducing the possibility of
breakage in shipping and handling .
Present Tokette coin chutes are
simply adjusted to accomodate the
new four-way-break Tokette . An
adjustment kit with setting gauge is
available .
The T okettes are available in two
sizes and a wide range of colors . A
special high security Tokette dis-
penser is available for unattended
locations .
