Escalado is a horse racing game created in the United Kingdom in which model race horse game pieces, originally made of lead, would make their way across a long fabric race track towards the finish line at the other end. The horses would move across the race track by means of a mechanical hand crank that vibrated the entire track in a random fashion such that it would simulate the events of a live race.
Escalado was invented and patented in 1928 by Swiss inventor Arthur Gueydan and produced by United Kingdom based toy company Chad Valley.
