A machine for inspecting a glass bottle comprising a bottle supporting track, a car for conveying a bottle along the track to a bottle inspection station. The car includes rollers for rotatably engaging one side of the bottle and a wall mechanism forcefully engages the other side of the bottle as it is conveyed to the bottle inspection station. The wall mechanism includes a pivotally displaceable support, which is biased towards a fully advanced position. Linear bumpers secured to the support extend into the path of a conveyed bottle when the support is at the fully advanced position so that a bottle will engage the linear bumpers and forcefully pivotally displace the support to a retracted position as the bottle is conveyed to the inspection station. The length of the linear bumpers is selected so that when a bottle is conveyed to the inspection station, the bottle will be conveyed past the linear bumpers whereby the support will be displaced back to the fully advanced position. When this occurs, rotating drive rollers on the support forcefully engage and rotate a bottle at the inspection station. The rotating bottle is then inspected.
