Cash Register - James Ritty
By Mary Bellis
On January 30, 1883, James Ritty and
John Birch received a patent for
inventing the cash register. James
Ritty invented what was nicknamed
the "Incorruptible Cashier" or the
first working, mechanical cash
register. His invention came with
that familiar bell sound referred to
in advertising as "The Bell Heard
Round the World".
After reading a description of the
cash register designed by James
Ritty and sold by the National
Manufacturing Company, John H.
Patterson decided to buy both the
company and the patent. He renamed
the company the National Cash
Register Company in 1884.
John Patterson improved the cash
register by adding a paper roll to
record sales transactions.
Charles F. Kettering designed a cash
register with an electric motor in
1906, while working at the National
Cash Register Company. He later
worked at General Motors and
invented an electric self-starter
(ignition) for a Cadillac.
