1. The cash register was invented by James Ritty, a saloonkeeper in 1883 in Dayton, Ohio
Problems that some of his staff would pocket the customers’ payment In 1878, he came up with an idea for a possible solution to the problem while on a steamboat trip to Europe by making connection with a mechanism that counted how many times the ship's propeller went around. Ritty and his brother John began working & 1st model was inaccurate. It looked like a clock with a keyboard, with hands indicating dollars and cents instead of hours and minutes. 2nd was not much better & in 1883 the 3rd prototype was a success.

George Eastman, a bank clerk in 1880.A high school dropout, judged "not especially gifted“. Began as an office boy of the age of 14 & followed that to work as a clerk in a local bank.When he was 24, he planned for a vacation trip then bought a photographic outfit to make a record of the trip. The camera was as big as a microwave oven on a heavy tripod. There were chemicals, glass tanks, a heavy plate holder, and a jug of water. The complete outfit was so bulky. Learning how to use it to take pictures cost $5. He did not make the trip but became completely absorbed in photography & sought to simplify the complicated process. He read in British magazines that photographers were making their own gelatin emulsions. Plates coated with this emulsion remained sensitive after they were dry and could be exposed at leisure. Using a formula taken from one of these British journals, Eastman began making gelatin emulsions.He worked at the bank during the day and experimented at home. Some nights he was so tired he couldn't undress, but slept on a blanket on the floor beside the kitchen stove. After 3 years of photographic experiments, He had a formula that worked. By 1880, he not only invented a dry plate formula, but had patented a machine for preparing large numbers of the plates. He quickly recognized the possibilities of making dry plates for sale to other photographers.

6. The Telephone Automatic Switching System was invented n 1888 by Almond B Strowger, first became a country school teacher before he became a funeral director. There was a competing undertaker locally whose wife was an operator at the local (manual) telephone exchange. Whenever a caller asked to be put through to Strowger, calls were deliberately put through to his competitor. This obviously frustrated Strowger greatly Strowger developed a system of automatic switching using an electromechanicalcal switch. With the help of his nephew he produced a working model.
