Thanks John I can't find the exact wavy lines in my book. Is the spacing of the lines correct?

The bars do look shifted/bent a little bit, appearing paired toward the left end, but they are more evenly spaced at the right end as they run off the card. These Internationals were the workhorses of larger cities.

I did notice that but wasn't sure. I don't think they opened up from over use they must have been made that way. don't you think?

I do not know the specifics of Atlanta's machine, but it would be fairly simple to find other examples. Nor do I know exactly how the killers were constructed, but the majority of the bars in other machines are very evenly spaced, so I would lean toward minor damage. I say this also based on knowing that some cities do exhibit progressive breaks in the letters of the dials and more dramatically shifted killer bars, so they do have some fragility despite being made of metal.
