In 1958 I was on Page Combined Shows, in the Carolina'a with a Scrambler ride. They arrowed the show,as shown in this pix. They used white chalk and the letters MP, mwhich stood for Mighty Page, but were very useful when approched by the local police, as they said the letters stood for Military Police. TRUE STORY!

If that was a ground up version the

center was heavy as hell but it was

extremely stable once the mudsills

were attached as you know Jim

I was a carny electrician a brief

time with Reithoffer but I learned

many of the then titled major rides

As I recall the Scrambler may have

been the only ride by Eli Bridge

that wasn't a wheel (is that so)

A ride I tried to stay away from

was the Sellner "Tilt A Whirl" a

real mean & heavy assembly

That was in 59-60 just before I met

up with my life's real callings
