One of the gems in the Prelinger collection, this was what the late 50's were about.. Bowling and Families baby! A simply GORGEOUS film outlining Brunswick's new 1960 line of bowling furniture. We're talking fiberglass chairs, pin setters, ball returners, everything! It even details the foul line buzzer! Also, provides a fascinating tech talk about how pins are set, how balls are set, and how people dry their hands conveniently on those hand dryers we always see. Not shown though, are the many styles of bowling shoes, ah well. This is a BEAUTIFUL film, and it's a total MUST SEE on this site!
