How does Wikipedia change the title of a topic? The name of this company is AMERICAN MACHINE AND FOUNDRY NOT AMERICAN MACHINERY AND FOUNDRY!!!

It is a notorious advertising trick to bury promotional claims in clauses subordinate to factual statements. Wikipedia authors need to be more careful. Perhaps guidelines are necissary?

Nobody questions that AMF was successful in promiting bowling, but the claim that bowling is the most popular competitive sport in America should have been spotted as pure advertising.

Harley Davidson ?

Why is there no mention of the absolute disaster relationship with Harley Davidson ?

Automated fast food.

AMF built the AMFare ORBIS system to automatically prepare a wide range of fast food items circa 1960. The car in the opening shot is a 1960 Buick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmXLqImT1wE Bizzybody (talk) 02:10, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
