    Beschreibung:
    English Double-Sided Pub TillAn inventive device intended to function as an early form of cash register for public houses and other businesses. Manufactured from solid mahogany, brass, and thick glass plates. Both customer and cashier could follow the coin offered in payment as it was dropped in a slot and held in a zigzag system of trays between two panes of glass, before dropping into a locked money box in the base. The mechanism is activated by a set of brass levers that slide back and forth and cause a bell to ring each time a coin is inserted. Instead of the usual single coin rack on both sides of a central tower, this double-sided model has two coin shelves back to back on one side of the tower, for use by two cashiers. A wide base on both sides contains bowls for loose change. On one side, two bowls are inset into the base, but the other side has only one bowl laid in, on the right side, with a locked drawer on the left. A small, detachable wooden bowl is placed in a shallow circular insert above the drawer. The drawer contains an extra bowl and a set of keys. An enameled oval plaque on the tower reads INVENTOR & PATENTEE/J.C. COX/174 QUEEN VICTORIA ST. LONDON. EC. Approximately 16 x 17 x 17 inches. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15091 (realized $1020). Heritage link: http://www.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1283&lotIdNo=11700

    Beschreibung:
    Cox Double-Sided English Pub TillAn early device for keeping track of over-the-counter payments at public houses and other businesses, with coin shelves on both sides of the central tower. The tower contains a mechanism for depositing coins in a frame of sliding bars or receptacles between two plates of glass. With every transaction, the cashier slides a lever as the new coin is deposited and the mechanism shifts, allowing the coin from the previous transaction to fall into a lower compartment. A bell rings every time the lever slides. This process repeats itself through several iterations, until the coin falls into a locked money box in the base. Both customer and cashier can easily see the coin tendered for payment in the glass-walled compartments, making it easy to resolve disputes about improper change. Constructed of wood, brass, and thick panes of glass, the base contains two inset bowls for loose change and a locked drawer. An enameled oval plaque on the tower reads INVENTOR & PATENTEE/J.C. COX/174 QUEEN VICTORIA ST. LONDON. EC. The drawer contains keys and official letters of patent number 2986 to Jehu Christopher Cox, dated June 15, 1883. Approximately 16 x 19 x 6 inches. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15092 (realized $1080). Heritage link: http://www.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1283&lotIdNo=11877
