All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. In a bowling lane maintenance machine having a lane dressing application system, the improvement comprising:
a roller;
a dressing reservoir adjacent said roller;
a wick received within said reservoir and having a portion that projects upwardly out of the reservoir for use in transferring dressing to said roller by contacting engagement therewith;
a dressing supply tank coupled with the reservoir in a manner to provide dressing to the reservoir by gravity flow;

a dressing level sensor operably coupled with said valve for opening and closing the valve in a manner to maintain the level of dressing within the reservoir substantially constant.
2. In a bowling lane maintenance machine as claimed in claim 1,
further including a pilot chamber upstream from the reservoir and downstream from the supply tank,
said pilot chamber being in open flow communication with the reservoir and being located at such a height that dressing in the pilot chamber and the reservoir are maintained at substantially the same level,
said sensor being located within said pilot chamber and being responsive to changes in the level of dressing within said pilot chamber.

4. In a bowling lane maintenance machine as claimed in claim 2, said sensor comprising a float switch.
5. In a bowling lane maintenance machine as claimed in claim 2,
further including a dressing supply conduit extending between the control valve and the pilot chamber,
said supply conduit being disposed to receive dressing that drains from the pilot chamber when the machine is upended for transport.
6. In a bowling lane maintenance machine as claimed in claim 5,
further including vent conduits communicating the supply tank and the pilot chamber with atmosphere,
