Abstract

An improved apparatus for applying lane dressing to bowling lane surfaces is provided which precisely controls the desired quantity and distribution of lane dressing applied to selective treatment zones presented by the bowling lane surface. The preferred apparatus includes a plurality of activatable metering pumps which discharge discrete, predetermined quantities of lane dressing to a transfer mechanism. The transfer mechanism distributes and transfers the lane dressing quantities to selected portions of an applicator buffer roller which in turn applies the lane dressing quantities to corresponding bowling lane treatment zones.
