“TICK OR NO TICK”
AUTOMATIC MACHINE FOR STORES (Australian Press Association.) London, November 19. The “Daily Mail” says: “Tick or no tick” will literally be the answer of a machine with which a leading London department store is experimenting. It will decide automatically whether a customer is entitled to credit. The assistant operates a key invisible and inaudible to the customer, spelling out the customer's name and the cost of the intended purchase. If she hears an immediate mechanical tick transmitted from the apparatus in the nerve centre in the cnee, she is aware that “tick” in the monetary sense can be extended. If there is no tick from the office there is no “tick” to the customer.
