[GreenKeys] National Cash Register TT-4A TG

[Pete Lancashire]

Not all that uncommon for a smaller company to have a 2nd or 3rd contract
manufacturer.
Teletype had a large manufacturing capability but I wonder how big
Kleinschmidt's manufacturing
was.

NCR's manufacturing was very large, and they did a lot of military contract
work, also many or the
companion TT-76 tape units were manufactured by Burroughs who also had a
large mechanical
manufacturing organization.

Both made very complete electro-mechanical products for the banking
industry.

Search Google for Sensimatic and "NCR Accounting Machine"

Building something like the TT-4 would have been easy for either of them.
