If any other NCR manuals come through, such as for their bookkeeping
machines or even basic cash registers, they'd be interesting, too
Is it the Computer History Museum that maintains the bitservers manual
site? That is a wonderful site. Those who made it possible are
greatly appreciated!
A local restaurant has a traditional NCR cash registers, circa 1970.
Ironically, they only ring up the final total, they add up the checks
by hand or by a simple calculator; I don't know why they don't use the
register to add. A few years ago I saw another restaurant, with a big
silver NCR register, do the same thing.
What is amazing that the cost of a modern digital cash register is but
a fraction of the old NCR cost.
