Here is a pic. Someone said they only made a few of these because of the complaints they got.They said this was made back when segregation was going on

From the information I have heard some were used for segregation but they were actually meant to be used at gas stations. You could put on machine in between gas pumps and vend drinks from both sides.

Interesting piece of information ! 

Only heard about this machine being used for segregation purposes. Glad to hear it was actually meant to be used for gas stations.

I can't believe they would manufacture a machine with that (segregation) intent.
Josh's scenario seems more logical, but I don't remember electrical outlets next to gas pumps. That would be a major fire/explosion waiting to happen!
What is he asking for the machine? Looks to be in decent shape - does it cool/vend? Is it complete?

I can't see the fire hazard being any more than having lights inside the pumps to illuminate front and globes. There has to be power at the pump or the lights and the pumps wouldn't work. There were also commonly light poles on the pump island so that could easily been the power supply.

My Father had one a long time ago. It was screened "blacks only" on one side and "White's Only" on the other. The guy my Dad sold it to sold it to Whoopi Goldberg for her collection of slavery and segregation items.

         I heard that the idea originated for volume reasons. Gas stations didn't really need this large of a machine, but schools and factories did!
         U see the larger the machine..the fewer times it needed o be re-stocked.
         Max. profits were at lunch hour....... the proposed C-102 would vend twice the number of cokes in peak times, from 12:00 to 1:00.  So in the south, people lined up on each side of this machine...  were the perfect opportunity for segregation.
