It took him seven years, but he finally came up with the firiit coin-operated automatic dry cleaning machine. The graying, 40-year-old proprie tor of a Spring Lake, Mich., dry cleaning establishment stands to make up to a million dollars out of his Invention, now being produced by Norge for general distribution. Robbins' wife turned him out of their basement a few months after he started work ing on the invention, "but not because she thought I was wasting my time," Robbins said. It was the money I had tied up in the machine about $50,000-that she was afraid I was wasting." Robbins acknowledge he was a little worried about the money, too. Id mortgaged everything I owned to come up with it," he said. His wife finally became rec onciled to the idea of possibly going broke, Robbins said, but I never heard the end of it when I ran a test on her best suit and shrank it from a size 14 to a size 8." Eight Pounds The Robbins machine dry cleans eight pounds of clothes in about 45 minutes for $1.50, and the inventor claims it leaves them wrinkle-free, with creases pleats and ruffles in tact. It accomodates an aver age of eight women's dresses or three men's suits. Robbins, who left high school to join the Navy during World War II, went into the dry cleaning business in 1944. He had no mechanical or en gineering training and said he tried six different approaches to his machine before coming up with the final design. It re sembles a coin-operated laun dromat. The inventor said he began thinking about a coin-operated automatic dry cleaning ma chine because his cleaning business had grown just so much, then hit a standstill. The success of coin-operated laundries convinced him that coin-operated dry cleaning could be as lucrative. He admits becoming dis couraged several times in the seven years he worked on the machine. "You keep thinking of all the people who go broke be cause they don't know when to say quit," he said. Robbins predicts that his machine won't cut into the business of regular dry clean ers. He expects, instead, that the machine will bring more customers into cleaning estab lishments and help business. But the problem is academ ic for Robbins. He's getting out of the dry cleaning busi ness and becoming a fulltimo inventor. He's currently play ing with the notion of devel oping a coin - operated gar ment - finishing form for re shaping clothes and a device for coin-operated banking. New Co-Stars Professor Says Lotteries May Be Returning Soon l Norman, Okla. -MPD- A Uni versity of Oklahoma history Drofessor says the lottery wheel may be spinning back wards to finance governments as it did in the past. Dr. John S. Ezell, author of "Fortune's Merry Wheel," said social and economic fa tors in the past made the lot tery an Important aid to fiscal systems of local, state and na tional governments. 'Lotteries flourished in Ro man times and were carried down to the days of the feudal princes," Ezell said. "Mer chants of Europe used lot teries to encourage sales of merchandise. Venice later cre ated a government monopoly in lotteries and derived con siderable revenue from the scheme. 'The lottery had a long career before and during the early colonization of America, and was the step - child of English parents." Ezell said the Continental Congress started a $1 million lottery to help finance the American Revolution, and that several colleges received aid from lottery proceeds, in cluding Kings College (Co lumbia), Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Civic Project! "Congress In 1792 passed an act giving the commissioners of the District of Columbia authority to institute lotteries for vital civic projects when ordinary revenues were in sufficient. "The next year a lottery for the 'Improvement of the federal city' was organized," Ezell related. The grand prize was 'one superb hotel, with bnlhs, outhouse, etc. , costing $50,000.' George Washington himself bought a ticket." Ezell said the word "lot1 orlginalod from the Teutonic word "hleut," meaning a disk, pebble or bean which was drawn or cast to decide dis putes and division of prop crty. Ho said throughout their long history, lotteries have al ways been plagued by fraud, or they failed because there were loo mnny or the prizes were too paltry. But Ezell said the wheel of fortune presently seems to be turning backwards In Amerl ca. "Ten stales legalize some form of lottery.
