James
Ritty
invented
the

money
drawer
' in

, but
it
didn't
catch
on
until
after
John
Patterson
purchased
the
company
from
Ritty
in
1884
, for
$6
,
500
.
Following
the
practice
of the
car
works
, he
insisted
on
fine
,
accurate
workmanship
. He
searched
for
artisans
and
drew
them to
Dayton
with
high
wages
. In
1886
Patterson
built
a
new
factory
,
located

80%
glass
supported
by
columns
of
brick-veneered
steel
.
It
was the
first
daylight
factory
building
in
America
and
set
a
new
standard
of
working
conditions
and a
created
a
new
style
of
architecture
. The
company
grew
so
large
that its
several
buildings
eventually
totaled
51
acres
of
floor
space
. In
1906
,
Charles
F
.
Kettering
began
working
at the
cash
register
plant
,
where
he
developed
a
quick-starting
electric
motor
for
cash
register
.
Three
years
later
, he
quit
the
job
to
give
him
more
time
creating
his
next
invention
–
the
automobile
self-starter
During
the
World
War
NCR
devoted
a
large
part
of its
facilities
to
making
precision
tools
used
in
war
manufactures
, and
over
the
years
,
continued
to
grow
and
evolve
. In
1968
,
employee
John
L
.
Janning
invented
liquid
crystal
displays
(LCD)
