pin setters

Alley lane workers

Pin setters are the machines or workers that reset bowling pins after each roll.

Before automation in the mid-twentieth century, pin setters were typically teenage boys who worked in the pit area, clearing fallen pins and arranging them back into formation.

Modern bowling alleys use mechanical pin setters that sweep, collect, and reset pins automatically.
