Can't you see some old Japanese guy hammering in those nails one at a time?

I wonder what the drum on the back is for?

If you look on the left of the back, that chute and bell at the bottom is for when a coin is dropped in the front (blue label in front pic). I assume that these were very 'attendant' needy.
