This machine is similar to the famous "Laughing Sal" that jiggled and laughed at so many of our now defunct amusement parks. English made, Jolly Jack came in either a an English Sailor or the rarer English "Bobby" After dropping a penny in the slot, a cam would lower a tone arm on to a 78 RPM record with a laugh track recorded on it, while Jack had a laughing fit (the speaker hidden in the door behind a metal plate), four other cams were respolsible for making Jack rock back and forth , & side to side, which also made his eyes roll sround in his head.
