[Jukebox-list] Animation Units

[S.R. Boland]

Actually, the more I muse on this, maybe I would
compare the Seeburg R to the 1955 Chevy (the
groundbreaking first year of the iconic '55-'56'-'57
trio), and the the AMI H (obviously influenced by
automotive design) to the '57 Chrysler or Plymouth.

The Seeburg V200 would be like a '58 Olds, maybe?

The history of industrial product design is pretty
interesting.
