ipdb.notes
IPDB Compare the revolving reels with the Ferris wheel playfield action used later on Williams' 1988 'Cyclone' and Williams' 1991 'Hurricane'. According to the Automatic Age ad shown here, the game mechanics were built by a company named Wilhite. The cabinets were made by Morris Furniture Company. We have no other information about either company. One of the designers of this game, C. Hale, was reported in the October 1935 issue of Automatic Age, page 105, as a new employee of California Exhibit Company working as an Associate Engineer in their Research Department. In that article, he was described as previously having been an "associate developer" of this game and, before that, of PAMCO's 1934 'Major League'. used
