Here's a puzzler... Just wondered what the purpose of early Watling RAT Reel Stop Levers being separated? They had 2 directly behind the payout discs, and then had a bar leading across the back of the mech with a hook end that was for stopping the 1st reel. I notice of later RAT they then put all 3 reel stop levers togther behind the pay discs. Can anyone explain what the reasoning was behind having the lonesome one stopping the 1st reel only. It seemed over-engineered, when having all 3 together was so simple!
Thanks
