    Ball kicker (1). The long minute hand of the playfield clock is positioned at the "12" and has a forked tip to hold a ball that enters the clock from above. The hand then rotates clockwise around the dial and deposits the ball in the first vacant hole. There is no outhole trough on this game for balls that do not score. A kicker at bottom of playfield propels losing balls upwards until they land in score holes. Patent No. D095852 [AMUSEMENT GAME BOARD] filed March 14, 1935. Granted June 4, 1935 to Frank K. Maitland.
    ipdb.notes
    The Billboard ad refers to the playfield clock operation as an example of Progressive Scoring and seems to imply that each numbered hole awards 1000 points multiplied by the number. However, the score card we show lists replay thresholds in terms of highest clock position achieved (not clock points earned) plus points earned elsewhere on the playfield.
