This 16 page issue contains illustrations of the latest inventions of the day including the following inventions and/or prints: The Cash recording Machine - Swivel Hanger - Aerophore - Hoisting Machine - Ice Cream Beater & More. Supporting text is also present.

wikipedia notes: The first cash register was invented by James Ritty following the American Civil War. He was the owner of a saloon in Dayton, Ohio, USA, and wanted to stop employees from pilfering his profits. He invented the Ritty Model I [1]in 1879 after seeing a tool that counted the revolutions of the propeller on a steamship. With the help of John Ritty, his brother, he patented it in 1883.[1]
Shortly thereafter, Ritty became overwhelmed with the responsibilities of running two businesses, so he sold all of his interests in the cash register business to Jacob H. Eckert of Cincinnati, a china and glassware salesman, who formed the National Manufacturing Company. In 1884 Eckert sold the company to John H. Patterson, who renamed the company the National Cash Register Company. John Patterson improved the cash register by adding a paper roll to record sales transactions, thereby creating the receipt.
In 1906, while working at the National Cash Register company, inventor Charles F. Kettering designed a cash register with an electric motor.
In the UK the term "till" is used which describes a small compartment or shelf inside a larger blanket or other form of chest, used to segregate small items.
