Manual bowling pin setting

In bowling, a pinsetter, or pin spotter, was originally a person who manually reset bowling pins to their correct position, cleared fallen pins, and returned bowling balls to players. Probably due to the nature of the work low-paid, often part-time, manual labor that most frequently took place evenings , many pinsetters were teenage boys, and thus pin boy is another name used to describe the job. In Gottfried Schmidt invented the mechanical pinsetter while with the AMF firm, which largely did away with pin setting as a manual profession, although a small number of bowling alleys still use human pinsetters.
