NCR RETIREE NEWS

FROM CHUCK, OUR REA PRES

G reetings everyone! And welcome to our 2nd Quarter newsletter for

2012. I hope this communiqué finds you

enjoying good health and the early arrival of

Spring and Summerlike weather in many parts

of the United States. I cannot speak on the weather for our

European members, but hope they are enjoying similar

temperatures.

While our last two newsletters highlighted the successful

reunion in September 2011, which brought us several new members, we are

focusing our attention on recruiting even more new members this year. Also,

for information about our Annual Meeting and Open House planned for

Thursday, September 20, 2012, refer to pages 14 and 15 for the schedule and

registration form. If you plan to attend the event, we encourage you to register

as soon as possible, preferably before September 1, 2012. We will keep you

apprised on the progress of our various initiatives and activities.

We continue the very vital task of retaining your interest in your NCR REA

through our printed newsletters and directory, which can be fairly expensive to

publish. You can help us control these costs by signing up to view the

newsletters and directory from our web site. Remember: The printed directory

is potentially out-of-date shortly after it goes to press. Since we update the

online version monthly or as needed, it is always current.

I want to close this letter with an expression of gratitude to my fellow Trustees,

our Administrator, Sue Schweitzer, our Newsletter Editor, Steve Wicinski, and

our Webmaster, Dennis Neufarth. They are all doing a great job of stepping up

to the plate and trying to improve our product for you, our valued members!

We hope to hear from you soon and look forward to receiving your

registrations for the Annual Meeting, scheduled for September 20, 2012!

Sincerely,

Chuck Stuart

Looking for Addresses to Old NCR Training Centers

Does anyone remember the street addresses for the old NCR Technical

Education Centers in Hartford, Connecticut and Denver, Colorado? If so,

please contact REA member Greg Ohler by email at: laumas@wfeca.net.

Puzzle Solved

Last issue, we asked our members to help identify Building # 33 in the NCR

Campus directory published in Q1, page 5. From your responses, we learned

that the building is the Encapsulation Plant where carbonless paper,

photochromics technology, time-release aspirin, digital thermometers, etc.

began. That is also where NCR produced the world's smallest Bible.

As it turns out, our diagram was labeled incorrectly. Building # 33 should be

# 32, which was missing!

Thanks for your help, everyone!

The Birth of Modern Salesmanship--Part 5

H aving provided the tools for becoming

successful salesmen, Mr. Patterson began to

educate his sales force on how to improve

their salesmanship beyond just applying

those tools. Above all, he hated the backslapping, joke-

telling salesman of the era. As much as he wanted to

sell cash registers, Mr. Patterson wanted to sell them the

right way. “Right is right and wrong is wrong,” was a

favorite principle he constantly drummed into ever

organization within the company--especially sales.

Often, he put across this point in a dramatic fashion.

Visiting a branch sales office, Mr. Patterson requested

one of his salesmen to demonstrate a cash register. The

salesman had an annoying way of shaking his finger at

the customer whenever he reached a high point in his

presentation. Mr. Patterson grew redder and redder as

the presentation proceeded, until finally he stopped the

salesman. He explained that finger pointing was a

display of poor manners and should be stopped

immediately. Unfortunately, the pointing gesture was

such an ingrained behavior that the salesman could not

stop it immediately. As the presentation continued,

along with the shaking finger, Mr. Patterson suddenly

got up from his chair, crossed the room and calmly

kicked in the side panel of the salesman’s desk. “When

you learn to stop shaking your finger at the prospect,

I’ll get you a new desk. Until then, you can use this desk

as a reminder,” said Mr. Patterson.

When he thought the right thing was to criticize and

even embarrass, Mr. Patterson did so and without

apology. On one trip to the field, he kept running into

salesmen who obviously paid little attention to the

Company’s policy on “neat dress and general good

appearance.” Mr. Patterson found one of these

incidents particularly aggravating. The salesman was

not properly dressed, unshaven, and smoking a cigar.

Mr. Patterson told him he was a disgrace to the

company. He said to the salesman, “You have not the

time to shave every day; you cannot afford to wear

clean clothes every day; you have no money to buy a

safety razor; your beard looks like music box cylinder,

yet you spend two dollars a day for cigars.” There is no

indication how this message affected the salesman, but

you can bet on two things. First, the message didn’t fall

on the deaf ears of the other salesmen in the room.

Second, if the salesman didn’t change, he wouldn’t have

been around to be chastised a second time.

Biographers have stated that if

Mr. Patterson had chosen a career in

the theatre, he probably would have

been as successful as he was at

selling cash registers. He had a keen

sense for the dramatic, and was

always ready to become the actor in

order to arouse the curiosity and to

hold the attention of his audience. Although, by most

standards, he was not a good public speaker in the sense

of a radio or television personality. Mr. Patterson had a

rare gift for selling his ideas from the stage. For one

thing, his audience could never be sure what he would do

next. If he sensed the audience’s interest was fading, Mr.

Patterson would sometimes knock over a water pitcher.

As his attendees sat there embarrassed for him, he would

mutter an apology for his awkwardness, knowing full

well that he had their attention once again. At another

time he might swat at an imaginary fly. In doing so, he

would knock off his glasses with such force, they would

shatter as they hit the floor. There sat the audience--

embarrassed for Mr. Patterson, not knowing that he

bought his glasses by the dozen with this moment in

mind. Having gotten their attention, he would then reach

into his pocket and pull out another pair of glasses. Often,

he would seem to be groping for just the right word to get

across his meaning. He would finally ask for help from

the audience. When someone came up with the right

word, Mr. Patterson would thank them, reach into his

pocket, pull out a $20 gold piece, and toss it to the

salesman who had guessed the right word. It paid to pay

attention, because the salesmen never knew where Mr.

Patterson’s lightning would strike next.

Perhaps no other person is responsible for raising the

self-image and the public-image of the salesman more

than John H. Patterson. He transformed an often ridiculed

profession into a time-honored one, and gave his

salesmen the skills to be successful in what is still

considered one of toughest professions.

Down though the years, salesmanship has evolved

with time and technology. However, if you look at the

evolution of salesmanship company by company, you

will find that companies with a long history all adopted

the same basic principles that Mr. Patterson taught to his

NCR sales force.

Why did those companies move in that direction?

The answer comes from Mr. Patterson himself. He

seldom bothered to explain his unorthodox actions, but

when pressed, he would simply say, “It Pays.”

NCR Travel customer Copa Airlines wins Digital

Screenmedia Association award

D igital Screenmedia Association - a not-for-profit organization that promotes improving the

customer experience through digital signage, interactive kiosk and mobile solutions - has

awarded NCR Travel and Copa Airlines with its "Best Mobile Technology Deployment"

award at its annual Industry Excellence Awards, honoring companies behind innovative

customer experience deployments.

Copa Airlines worked with NCR to implement a comprehensive mobile self-service solution (mobile

website functionality, mobile boarding pass delivery and web check-in) to improve efficiency and the

passenger experience by diverting traffic away from check-in counters. Copa passengers can visit

m.copaair.com, a fully mobile optimized site, to check flight status and check in for a flight. Following

mobile check-in, passengers receive their boarding pass in the form of an email web-link message on

their phone. By following this link, passengers can access their secure, fully optimized, IATA standard

2D boarding pass and proceed to security where the mobile boarding pass is scanned and validated.

In the first few months following the launch of its mobile boarding pass service, Copa Airlines

experienced volumes of almost 25,000 boarding pass deliveries. Today, the airline is consistently

sending more than 25,000 mobile boarding passes per month.

Following the launch of m.copaair.com in April 2011, Copa Airlines saw more 75,000 hits per month,

which has put critical travel information conveniently at its passengers' fingertips. To date, the mobile

site has had more than 880,000 visits and it is estimated to reach 1 million before its one-year

anniversary.

With the powerful combination of a fully optimized mobile website and mobile boarding pass delivery,

Copa Airlines has been able to offer its customers an efficient and intuitive “anytime, anywhere”

service, resulting in reduced operational costs and decreased airport congestion.

Congratulations NCR Travel and Copa Airlines!

NCR IN THE NEWS (CONTINUED). . . .

NCR CFO Speaks at Forum on Restoring U.S. Competitiveness

N CR Senior Vice President, CFO and Chief Accounting Officer Bob Fishman joined the

CFOs from Dell and Qualcomm, two other leading technology companies, in Washington,

D.C., in mid-March to discuss how public policy impacts strategic business planning,

operations and international trade at large companies.

This summit of technology company

executives was convened on Capitol

Hill by the Center for Public Policy

Innovation, a not-for-profit

educational think tank. More than

100 were in the audience

and included representatives from

Congress, members of congressional

staffs, the media and other business

leaders.

Dr. John Mayo, executive director of

the Georgetown Center on Business

and Public Policy and professor of

business at Georgetown University,

served as the panel moderator.

“Global companies make decisions on where to invest based on a network of factors, such as quality of

workforce, proximity to customers, infrastructure, tax policies and trade policies,” said Fishman, at the

event. “Governments that understand the factors that drive corporate investment decisions can attract

investment.

This is true at all levels: national, state and local. By focusing on these critical factors that influence

corporate decisions, the U.S. government can help improve our country’s ability to attract corporate

investment and jobs in this competitive worldwide climate.”

FROM OUR MEMBERS ( C O N T I N U E D . . . )

John H. Patterson and The Devil’s

Head

I was told this story when I was a

student salesman back in

1960. However, I cannot find any

official written record of it.

Nevertheless, I thought I would

share this with the rest of our members.

Perhaps others have heard this story at

some point during their NCR careers.

While John Patterson was away on a business trip, some

of the factory workers who disliked him fashioned a

Devil's Head to look like him, then attached it to the

drawers of about 200 cash registers. When Patterson

returned to Dayton, he found out about this and fired

those workers!

Not long ago, I was in the middle of wine country at the

Buckhorn Steak House, which is located in a very small

town called Winters, CA. On display at the bar was the

cash register pictured on the right. From the looks of it, I

am guessing it’s a Model 700 or 900.

When asked, none of the bar employees knew the

significance of the handle on the cash-register’s

drawer. Could it be one of the infamous registers?

Note the handlebar mustache.

THE NCR SONG . . . 1906

Words by W. D. Nesbit Music by Frederic Chapin Copyright 1906 by The National Cash Register Co. Tempo di Marcia

+ Here insert name of any N.C.R. official desired.

A ll round and round and round the world there sounds a silver bell Wherever on the land or sea the folks have things to sell; It rings on the

equator and its echoes rise and roll Across the silent plains of snow the lie about the pole. It rings beneath the southern cross, beneath the polar star Does the jingle, jingle, jingle of the N.C.R.

It rings where northern breezes toss the branches of the pine, It sounds throughout the golden west in mill and mart and mine; It jingles in the sunny south of cotton, cane and palm, It gives unto the cultured east a more contented calm There's never any discord, any sounds that harshly jar In the jingle, jingle, jingle of the N.C.R.

The Russian hails with joyous voice the great machine that thinks, The Frenchman sings the praises of the wheel that counts the clinks, The Hindu at the temple gates, the Arab on the sands, The Eskimo and Hottentot greet it with eager hands, On camel back, in burro pack, in stately ship, and car, We are going, going, going with the N.C.R.

Our President! Here's to him! He is with us hand and heart, No matter what the task may be he always does his part. His welfare plans have flowered in a thousand varied ways, May his good deeds come back to him through all the coming days. So, here's to him! He always rates a whole lot over par, The man behind the men behind the N.C.R.

So whether we go far and wide across the briny foam, No matter when or where or how we find that we must roam. We learn that each depends on each, that one must work for all, And all in turn must work for one, together stand or fall. And that is why in all the world, in countries near and far Sounds the jingle, jingle, jingle of the N.C.R.

For it's all of us together, our flag is never furled. From Africa to Iceland, we're marching 'round the world. Success is on our banner, we're heard both near and far, With the jingle, jingle, jingle of the N.C.R.

And here's a health to (+ ) he's the man who boosts the sales, The man who shows the laggards it's no use to hide their trails; He talks the N.C.R. wherever he may chance to be And all the other fellows soon are talking in his key. The clock tat every morning from his dreams gives him a jar Has the jingle, jingle, jingle of the N.C.R.
