Comment

Fred Walker joined with Bill Ruffler in 1934, who was already in the business of operating some cigarette vending machines. They founded Ruffler and Walker (R&W), of Clapham (Greater London, UK). In 1969 R&W had sold out to Phonographic Equipment (PE). More information: https://penny-arcade.info/the-ruffler-walker-collection
