National Cash Register

Man's Mountain Of Paper
At the entrance is a reproduction of Rodin's famous sculpture The Thinker, amid displays pointing out the mountainous pile of records the average man accumulates during his lifetime. Nearby is a 30-by-12-foot plastic relief map of the world with real water flowing in the ocean areas. Pinpointed on the map are the company's 12 factories and 1,100 offices.

Fun And Figures
A room of games has adding machines for adults to play with and a giant abacus for children. Problems worked out on the adding machines are simultaneously done in the binary-coded decimal system of counting, which is the language of most business computers. It represents quantity only in terms of ones and zeros, shown here as lights and dark spaces.

The Business Of Machines
Scattered about a Japanese garden and pool on the ground floor and in a display area on the second floor are many types of business machines: supermarket cash registers that dispense both change and trading stamps; a computer-cash register system that tells the storekeeper how he is doing compared with a month or a year ago and a fully automated branch-bank system.

Computer Chatter
An NCR 315 computer, although sealed away in a glass room, keeps no secrets. When asked by visitors it will dig out any recipe in the Hilton International Cookbook, tell the important events that happened on any dare of the year, answer in laymen's language any one of 100 scientific questions and list the sights at any of the 150 most frequently visited spots in the world.

The Size Of It
A display of miniaturization offers such diminutive surprises as the King James version of the Bible on a single card and a sharp television image one eighth of an inch square.
