    description
    Open-elbow inlanes are [[gameplay-feature:inlanes]] whose divider from the [[gameplay-feature:outlanes]] stops short at the bend, leaving the two lanes joined so a ball can cross from one into the other in either direction.[1] The gap cuts both ways, which is what makes it interesting: a ball on the safe side of the divider can wander out into the drain lane, and a ball already in the outlane can wander back. [[manufacturer:gottlieb]] used the layout from *[[title:extra-inning]]* (1971) into the middle 1980s, and Spanish and Italian makers — [[manufacturer:recreativos-franco]], [[manufacturer:zaccaria]], [[manufacturer:maresa]] and [[manufacturer:inder]] among them — built it into machines through the 1970s. [[gameplay-feature:right-open-elbow-inlanes]] open the right pair alone and keep the divider on the left.
