A Well-equipped Workshop

A Well-equipped Workshop.

When Mr. Bishop was speaking to the visiting accountants he praised the skill of Mr. F. B. Freed, officer in charge of the machines, who—he declared—would not allow a machine to wear out. The modern workshop gives new life to many things, ranging from stop-watches to slot-machines, as well as the accounting machines. Mr. Freed is more than an ingenious repairer; he is a successful inventor. One of his products is the dating press used at railway stations and elsewhere.

At present, when the “hospital” duties allow him time to think about other things, he turns to another innovation, a machine which will give correct change, but will conserve the small coins, as far as practicable. Existing types of money-changers, such as those in the Telegraph Offices, lack that conservative touch. page 12
