英语词汇cash register的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	cash register
词源	cash register. The term cash register was devised by the ma- chine’s inventor—Dayton, Ohio restaurant owner James J. Ritty—who called it the “Cash Register and Indicator” in his patent filed March 26, 1879. Ritty invented the machine to help prevent his cashiers from stealing and, in fact, called it the Incorruptible Cashier. Unfortunately, he sold out his company after two years, discouraged by slow sales, never really cashing in on what would prove to be a billion-dollar invention.
