The OFFICIAL Porter Fan-snhapea Bank is :

REAR VIEW showing the scien-
tific bracing which makes the
Porter Fan-Shaped Bank abso-
lutely rigid. Solid steel braces
are arc-welded to the rear face
of the bank, to the continuous
flange, to each other, and to the
attachment plates, unifying the
assembly. Thus shock is evenly
distributed, and vibration is
completely eliminated. SOLID
steel braces and ARC-welding
are most important. This com-
bination alone can produce the
EVERLASTING Porter-type of
bank. Note the continuous

flange all around the bank. Note
also the sturdy attachment
plates, made of !4-inch-thick
solid steel.

 

   

 

GIANT INDUSTRIAL PRESSES

m@ ‘form’ the Porter fan-shaped banks from single sheets
= of solid steel — like automobile bodies. This process
insures the smooth, rounded, accurate edge demanded
by the Official Rules, and produces a perfectly flat
and flawless banking area. The entire Porter fan-
shaped bank is painted non-glare eggshell white.

CHANGING OVER IS EASY AND INEXPENSIVE

Installing the new Porter fan-shaped bank is a very simple matter. In almost
every instance the existing backstop framework, after adjustment, is completely
satisfactory. Your janitor can do the work. With every Porter fan-shaped bank,
complete and easy-to-follow installation instructions are furnished free-of-charge.
Simply specify, with your order, the type of backstop you intend to change over
— whether wall-braced, suspended-and-braced, swing-up, etc. — or describe it
if you cannot name the type.

THE LOW PRICE IS ASTONISHING

Consider! All-steel, everlasting fan-shaped basketball banks for less than even
the old-style rectangular plywood banks cost! The new Porter fan-shaped banks
cost less than half what the old-type rectangular steel banks cost!

THE NEW GOAL FOR THE NEW FAN-SHAPED BANK

This goal meets all official requirements. It is all-steel, electric-welded, strong
and durable, made to maintain a perfect circle in perfect alignment with the
bank. It attaches behind the bank, in compliance with the new rules, to the
lower middle attachment plate shown in the rear view illustration above. The
supporting arms are die-formed to curve inward slightly so there can be abso-
lutely no obstruction of the ball.
