In the 1950s Jacmar Manufacturing of New York produced a series of "electric" quiz games, which were battery operated. A simple metal grid beneath the questions caused a light to flash when the player guess and then placed the metal pointer on the correct answer. Commended, at that time, by "Parents Magazine," these Pathway to Knowledge games covered a variety of subjects. This particular example offers "An Adventure in English."
