    ipdb.notes
    The several and new internal components first used on this game were known collectively as Rally's Flip-tronics. A Billboard article from November 1966 (shown here) announced 'Rally Girl' as new. A Billboard article from June 1967 (also shown here) indicated this game was launched October 20, 1966 and was still in production that June with demand for it so great that a new factory at Embrun, Hautes-Alpes, France, was switched over (from whatever it had been making) to make nothing but Fliptronic (aka Flip-tronic) machines. This brief June article mentions "Five Plants" but unfortunately does not explain anything more about that. Also included here are two pictures from the same June 1967 Billboard showing production lines. One image shows 'Rally Girl' being made at their Nice plant and the other picture shows an unidentified game being made at their new plant at Embrun. Additional pictures are needed to help us identify what game was being made at their Embrun plant in that picture.
