This Williams machine fabricated in 1955 is a strange game that really is more of a
toy. A player gets to operate a remote-controlled bulldozer around a big sandbox for
120 seconds using two remote controllers in synthetic gravel. It appears the idea for
this machine was to cater to the under-12 market as no rewards, extra time, or extra
plays were programmed into the electromechanical boards within the machine. No
scoring and no prizes! This machine was often confused with Williams’ Crane (1956)
because it has a sign on top of the game that says, “Be a sidewalk engineer.” Ten
cents allowed adults a two-minute break to get a quick snack while a child was
entertained. I don’t think this would be the case in today’s thinking…
