projected time frame of 90 days in which various machines at
the bridge will be converted. Delivery of 100,000 tokens will
require 60 days from the date of order and a new coin/token

mechanical arms that grip, raise, tilt and dump a preselected
type cart or container. The gO-gallon containers are fabricated
from a special plastic and are guaranteed unconditionally for
