The first coin-operated weighing scale by Percival Everitt in 1884 heralded the arrival of Service Machines in every conceivable public arena. They were less vulnerable to security issues which plagued machines which vended tangible goods and often provided something which would not previously have been paid for. Children's coin-operated rides are included in this section, but machines that serve up product or amusement (music, pictures or games) or tangible goods are found elsewhere in the Museum.
