      The people in the first photograph, from left to right are Scotty Lautzenheiser, Jeremy Clyne, Mike Banda, and Sal Villa.

      I had taken the photographs at Sat Cong Village (SC Village), Corona, California (USA) in October, 1996.  The players are holding the Big Loader that came before the Magnum Loader's development. The previous Big Loader did not have motorized internal feeding like the Magnum. 

      Through field testing, it was discovered that the Big Loader was not the way to go. Its design had one flaw.  Balls that were in the clip would flow back into the front loader when you tipped the barrel down. And the loading port was vertically positioned, which mde the loader bulge out more on its side.

      The Magnum Loader that is currently under development and should be available next year, has a flip lid that is mounted sideways, on the left-hand side of the gun.
