Designer George H. Miner, who disliked air travel, died in a plane crash ten miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming on October 7, 1935, on his return trip to Chicago after flying to Los Angeles to make arrangements for his brother's funeral. Miner was chief engineer (and a designer) at Bally at the time of his death. He did not live to see his patent filing for this game get approved.
