Description
Wilson's patent "relates to a new game, which is partly one of skill, and partly of chance. The invention consists in the use of a revolving pointer or index-hand, moving over a disk on which numbers or words are marked, said index-hand being either itself exposed, or having a pendant or arm which is exposed to the action of a ball thrown by the player." The patent also includes detailed rules for operating the game. (Patent Number 82,370)
