Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     The game consists of a frame having a plurality of ramps, directed towards a central common station or well, along which balls are rolled in a simulated race to discharge a scoring chute connected to the common central station; the sequence in which the balls enter the scoring chute determines a score for each player.  In one embodiment of the invention a marker ball is deposited at the central station, independently of the game balls rolling along the ramps, so that it also enters the discharge chute.  The marker ball is used to differentiate between game balls which  enter the discharge chute before and after the marker ball.  Those balls entering the chute before the marker ball obtain "plus" scores while those entering the discharge chute after the marker ball obtain "minus" scores.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         The disclosure is directed to structural features of piercing and reeling mills to facilitate and expedite the chang-ing of mill rolls, as is necessary from time to time for accommo-dation of new work sizes and/or for refurbishing of the rolls. The new mill construction includes a cap member which is removably secured to the upright members of the mill frame structure and forms, in effect, an integral part of the mill structure during normal operation.  To effect changing of the mill rolls, provision is made for moving the cap to a laterally offset position, while still supported on the basic mill structure, to permit access to the mill rolls by means of an overhead crane.  In the new mill structure, provisions for releasing and lateral offset movement of the mill cap is self-contained within the mill structure, so that the plant crane is not required to be utilized in removing the mill cap, as heretofore.  In one form, the cap is supported on horizontal flanges or tracks and is moved by self-contained hydraulic actuators.  In another form the mill cap incorporates combined clamps and wheel supports which, in one position, secure the cap to the mill uprights and, in another condition, provide mobile supports for the cap, permitting it to be rolled out of the way to provide overhead access.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A vehicle washing system in which a rear wash brush is mounted on the free end of a normally rearwardly extending pivotable rear brush arm powered by a double acting piston and cylinder.  A control system applies a low pressure to the cylinder when the rear brush washes the side of the vehicle, to avoid damage to mirrors and antennae.  When the rear brush reaches the rear of the vehicle and the rear brush arm begins to pivot more forwardly, this actuates a valve in the control system which causes a substantially higher pressure to be applied to the cylinder, to wash the rear of the vehicle adequately.  After the rear wash is completed, the control system reverses the fluid connections to the cylinder to return the rear brush arm to its original position.  In addition, a pivotable front brush arm carrying a front brush normally extends across the vehicle path and is pushed for-wardly by the vehicle to wash the front of the vehicle.  The front brush arm is normally biased to extended position to maintain firm contact with the vehicle front, but when the front brush reaches the corner of the vehicle, the control system retracts the front brush to a parked position in which it contacts the side of the vehicle only lightly, to avoid damage to protecting mirrors and antennae.
