Cash register (English)

Japanese: キャッシュ・レジスター(英語表記)cash register
Cash register (English)
Also known as a cash register. When a product is sold in a store, this machine displays the transaction status (quantity, unit price, total amount) of the product so that both the store and the customer can understand it, adds up and records the total, and also stores the cash. It originated from a dial register patented by American restaurateur James Ritty in 1879. This was improved to the current model by fellow American Patterson. It was introduced in Japan in 1999.
