How the Juke Box Got Its Name
By John Winward

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Sir,  Some friends and I are wondering how or why did those record
machines we all loved become to be known as "Juke Boxes".  We would
appreciate any light you can shed on this subject.

Best regards,
John Winward
