- The manufacturer�s original playfield drawing (not shown here) is dated 10/23/51 and has the signed initials HEW. This Model 62 was never made. It shows a long outhole trough to hold the five balls, typical of a 1-player game.
Duncan Brown described what he saw on the drawing:This Model 62 is remarkably similar to Model 61 'Hoss-Feathers' - horse racing, eight pop bumpers, numbered 1 through 8, presumably they advanced the equivalent horses in a horse unit in the backbox? The biggest difference is� no flippers! The ball just caroms around advancing horses until it gets to the bottom and can bounce up off some rubbers against the apron, or goes out one of three lanes (which oddly, aren�t labeled, but I�m going to guess one each of "odd", "even", and "all" was the intent). Rebound switches for advancing 1-6 (but not 7 or 8!) and "advance odd hosses" and "advance even hosses" and two centered adjacent lanes up top that do even and odd "advance hosses". Erasures show that the designer moved those eight pop bumpers all over the place during the development of the game, but I do not see any erased flippers anywhere.
