Did you Know?

Air hockey was invented by three engineers at Brunswick Corporation in Muskegon, Michigan in the late 1960's. Bradford Baldwin, Philip Crossman and C. Robert Kenrick built the table to test air cushioning for unrelated projects. During their breaks, they played a game on the table using a round disk and square mallets. Doorbells were hooked up at each end with a photo sensor to signal a "goal".It was then decided that the "game" may appeal to a larger market and air hockey was born!
