CLASS C, “STANDARD” ADJUSTABLE ALLEYS.
Reading edition
The Standard (Reiskey & Wolf Patent) Adjustable Alleys are constructed in every detail the same as the Standard Bowling Alleys except that the sleepers on which the beds rest are adjustable. The adjusting screws are placed at the ends of the sleepers and rest on the sills as shown above. They are riveted to Iron Shoes that are secured to the sills so that the screws can raise up or draw down the beds. Any deviations of the beds from level, except such as are due to wear, may be corrected by the adjusting screws, and the expense of re-planing avoided or reduced in cost. When it is necessary to plane out a worn spot the worn part may be raised by the screws and the necessity of taking a deep cut of the whole bed avoided.
SECTIONAL ALLEYS. On the Adjustable principle we build sectional Alleys with the beds in sections 12 to 14 feet long and 42 inches wide. After the Adjustable Sleepers are set and leveled, the bed sections are screwed to them and if necessary again leveled by the adjusting screws. Such alleys are as near portable as it has been possible to get alleys and may be moved from Winter to Summer resorts, etc.
