content: Large “red brass” manually operated cash register made by the National Cash Register Co. There are three columns of digit keys, with 9 keys per column – hence one can enter amounts up to $9.99. Six keys (A, B, D, E, H, and K) in the left column designate the clerk entering data; the other three keys register functions. The operating crank is on the right side, the cash drawer is below, and a receipt dispenser on the left. Pop-up indicators indicate the total purchase and the clerk entering data. The indicator above this indicates whether a transaction was cash or charge. A printer for the receipt is on the left. This example resembles an NCR Model 442, a form introduced in 1908, and was probably made a few years later.
