Cash register
Correct Answer: Cash register
So why is this answer correct? : In 1884, a former coal dealer named John Henry Patterson purchased the rights to a struggling cash register company and renamed it National Cash Register, or NCR. Patterson made some key improvements to the eponymous device, and pioneered modern business techniques such as direct mail and commissioned salespeople. The company, now known as NCR Corporation, was acquired by AT&T in 1991.
