ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for analyzing and evaluating the thickness and distribution of conditioning material applied to the surface of a bowling lane, wherein the conditioning material is treated with an additive prior to its application to said surface and then the treated conditioning material is transferred from a transverse section of the bowling lane surface onto an elongated strip. The method includes the steps of (1) analyzing the additive transferred onto the elongated strip for providing readings which are proportional to the quantity of lane conditioning material applied to portions of the transverse section of a bowling lane surface, and (2) correlating the readings provided by the analysis with the thickness and distribution of conditioning material applied to the bowling lane surface. The apparatus comprises a mechanism for analyzing the additive transferred onto the elongated strip and for providing readings proportional to the quantity of conditioning material applied to portions of the transverse section of the bowling lane surface. In the preferred embodiment the additive is a fluorescent brightener and the apparatus includes photodiodes which measure the response of the treated conditioning material to ultraviolet light.
