Abstract
An improved method of using a convertible bowling lane including at least one movably mounted gutter (26) extending along a side (12,14) of a bowling lane bed (10) from the approach (18) toward the pin deck (16) thereof and mounting a ball deflecting rail (32) along the side (12,14) for movement between a first position wherein a ball moving toward the side (12,14) will engage the rail (32) before leaving the bed (10) and a second position wherein a ball moving toward the side (12,14) may leave the bed (10) to enter the gutter (26) and a curtain (100) installed to extend between the side (12,14) and the gutter (26) and to be exposed when the rail (32) is in the first position and covered by the gutter (26) when the rail is in the second position. The method includes the steps of making the curtain (100) in at least two sections (112,114,116) including at least one relatively short, easily removable section (112,116) adjacent the approach (18) and placing indicia (118,120) on the short section (112,116) to be exposed to the user of the lane when the rail (32) is in the first position.
