The first feature that mechanically moved numbers!
The numbers on the bingo card were on strips that
could be moved one position by turning knobs/pushing
buttons on the foot rail.
Usually, the numbered strips were the vertical columns of
the card, and they could be shifted up/down one position.
When a column was shifted up, the top number "wrapped"
and became the bottom number. The bottom number wrapped to
the top when shifting down.
bally:miss_america introduced horizontally shifting
lines that used two 5x5 cards next to each other.
A number could be slid from one card to the other.
