Paymaster Ribbon Writer

Generally called a "checkwriter,"  this particular example was on display at a silent auction at a thrift store in Ganonoque.  A staff member kindly removed it from the display case so I could take some photos of it.

This was the way that businesses used to print cheques back in the Sixties.  We've come a long way in fifty years!

If you google the name, you can find several youtube videos showing how it operated.
