American Machine & Foundry Co. invaded the bowling market with its automatic Pinspotter, which eliminated pin boys-and started bowling on its boom.

Ted decided that his brother was not using the right tactics to fight the threat. Says Ted: "I went to him and convinced him that I should take over."
