How does Wikipedia change the title of a topic? The name of this company is AMERICAN MACHINE AND FOUNDRY NOT AMERICAN MACHINERY AND FOUNDRY!!!
It is a notorious advertising trick to bury promotional claims in clauses subordinate to factual statements. Wikipedia authors need to be more careful. Perhaps guidelines are necissary?
Nobody questions that AMF was successful in promiting bowling, but the claim that bowling is the most popular competitive sport in America should have been spotted as pure advertising.

Why is there no mention of the absolute disaster relationship with Harley Davidson ?

AMF built the AMFare ORBIS system to automatically prepare a wide range of fast food items circa 1960. The car in the opening shot is a 1960 Buick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmXLqImT1wE Bizzybody ( talk) 02:10, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps the article could be improved, in its introductory paragraph(s). The parts about "the military-industrial complex" and a former US Secretary of State, seem to be way too far removed, or too detailed, for an introduction. The linked article on "the military-industrial complex" does not even mention AMF - "a major part"(?); I recommend elimination of the sentence and weakest link.
Another area of improvement might be separation of the discussions on A) Sporting goods, versus B) Defense/government contracts. Maybe a word or something about the last nuclear reactor built and when; what was its defense-contract subsidiary or division, and what happened to that product line (and when/why). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 ( talk) 20:27, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
