Abstract: An improved coin routing plate made from a solid piece of resilient and rigid material that incorporates a slot in the coin channel that allows access to any coins that are in the plate and also allows coin dust and debris to escape thereby resulting in less jams and expedites the un-jamming process without removing any parts from the hopper mechanism. Constructed in such a manner as to make it highly resistant to bending and warping thereby having the economic advantage of less replacement and less down time to un-jam and maintain.

Abstract: A combination Malleable Carbon Steel/Copper Wire Braided material. This braided material will allow the use of chassis mounted magnets on 1/24th and 1/32nd scale model Slot Cars for use as magnetic traction and downforce devices. Said braid being made of a combination including a copper plating over each individual strand of malleable carbon steel wire will provide a sufficient mass of steel while also providing the least resistive and most flexible conductor.
