A TALE ABOUT THE MONORAIL
Date: 1965
American Machine and Foundry (AMF) made a name for themselves in the production of automated bowling equipment. The company, however, had far more products than just the Pinspotter. At the 1965 World’s Fair in New York City, the firm showed off the AMF Monorail. There were seven of the two-car trains available for test rides. Inside the Monorail station, visitors could also try out the AMF Pinspotter. The company envisioned the Monorail as a solution to cities’ increasingly congested roads.
