Sport - Part 2
Thinking again overnight one detail became clearer in my mind about the year 1990.
My official records from the United States National Archives, they sent to me three years ago, documents when my separation leave began.
I wrote about how I couldn't recall the precise date I first started work at a civilian job in Greenville South Carolina.
A document from the United States Social Security Administration I received back in the year 2006 got me thinking about that. That document lists the civilian employers I had in the past and which included from the year 1990 up to Microsoft Corporation beginning December 1998.
So the detail that became clearer in my mind last night is consistent with my closer examination of the calendar of the year 1990.
The day 01 April 1990 was a Sunday.
So that must be the day I wrote about traveling with Jim Shea out to Seneca South Carolina for the very first service call of the contract my employer (according to my federal documents) had just taken over to service computer equipment for First Federal Savings and Loan in South Carolina.
That is consistent for two reasons.
One is because I remember a training period before the service contract began.
The other is because I recall the urgency needing me to be available to work with Jim Shea in the Greenville office.
The second point is reinforced by the facts I remember associated with meeting with Dan Benbow.
I found out I could interview for employment but I was needed there in Greenville as soon as possible. At the time I was still waiting in a temporary duty barracks as my honorable discharge from the United States Navy was being processed.
I can still recall going to the office and asking another Petty Officer who worked in the office if I could take the day off so I could go to Greenville for the employment interview. He said I could not take off and so I asked if I could use a leave day for that and that is what happened. I either recall now or I recall now that I once wrote that I traveled to Greenville for the Thursday interview with Dan Benbow, which the calendar says is 22 March 1990.
So since my separation leave began on Saturday then Friday must have been my last day and that must be the day I recall driving the rental car from Charleston South Carolina to Greenville.
I had to do that because my employer had an employee from Texas in town to train us (very lightly) on the equipment and I would have needed to be there on Monday. The following Sunday was the 1st of April.
Thinking about it more now I am still somewhat confused about precisely when my separation leave began. I can't reconcile that with what I wrote here above and when thinking about the document I got from the archives. However the explanation might be simply that since the discrepancy involved a Saturday then they might have simply let me go because nobody in the personnel office was working on Saturday. I really don't recall now. The details are still consistent with the urgency associated with me being in Greenville by Monday and that the contract began that following Sunday. That work in Greenville is the only actual memories I have. Everything else is just thoughts in my mind.

The original air date of this episode was October 1990, and my formal discharge from the Navy was May 1990. I'm not sure when I actually watched this episode though; probably around the 1994 time-frame. It reminds me of a pivotal point back in 1990. I was leaving the Navy and I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do. I had spent the last 6 months overseas so there had been no way to even do any interviews until I was actually out of the service. As luck would have it, a buddy of mine, who I had worked with on the USS Wainwright, recommended me to a company he was interviewing with and I got that job. I got out of the Navy on a Friday and I was working there that next Monday. Coincidentally, the same thing had happened six years earlier where I graduated high school on Friday and was in Navy boot camp the next Monday.

Interview with Mr. Don Wetzel, Co-Patente of the Automatic Teller Machine
Conducted by Dr. David K. Allison, Curator,
National Museum of American History (NMAH)
September 21, 1995
NMAH Presidential Reception Suite
Getting back to the story about the engineering: I had gone over to Atlanta to make a sales call on this bank, a very progressive bank; I thought they might be interested in this concept. They were. They thought it really sounded good. So I came back home, and the next day I had a phone call from the executive vice president of the bank who said, "We're getting on our bank airplane Monday morning, five of us, we want to come over and see this machine."
I thought, "Great!" So I told the engineers that you know this thing's got to be working on Monday morning. (he laughs) It's very important." When I got to the office early Monday morning, it was not working. This was a hardwired machine, by the way. This is the kind of thing we went through almost on a daily basis for a while. I told George Chastain that I would have them come into the conference room and I'd give them a little history of Docutel, a little history about the idea, the concept, automatic tellers, and so on. And then we'd go and get a demonstration. I left the door ajar a little bit and I said, "George, periodically you walk up and down that aisle and if the machine is down, do this [he points his thumb down], if it's up, then I'll know to break it off and we'll go in."
Well, I started out, I went through the course of our history and George came by about twice and gave me the old "down" signal. So I went around again; same thing again. Did this for about an hour and a half. Finally this executive vice president says, "I know more about Docutel now than you do. This machine isn't working, right?" I said, "That's right, it's not working." He said, "That's OK, let us look at it anyhow." I said, "OK."
So we went out into the lab and we showed them the machine. And they understood what we were doing and they could visually see that we were serious. We were going to build this machine. The only problem was, it wasn't working. And you know -- "the money came out here, you put the card in here, here's the dispenser" and all of that -- we showed them the guts of the machine. It never did work that day. They went back to Atlanta. In two days I received a phone call and they ordered five. Now, this was a very progressive bank. It's still around today and it's still a very progressive bank.
But those are the kinds of things we went through. Kind of nerve-wracking at times. You never knew what the end result was going to be. But we did get away from that hardwired machine. And we went to a mini-computer, what we know as computers today. That really solved our electronic problems.
David: Before we get into the installation on Long Island, let me just ask you about the patent.
Don: Well, the company filed in 1970 for the patent on the ATM and the patent, as I recall, was for a machine that dispensed money at the request of a person who had a plastic card with a properly encoded magnetic stripe or something like that. We reapplied. Apparently it wasn't worded properly or something was not clear. We had a lawyer at the company, by the way, and he reapplied in 1971. We found out, I guess it was about this time, that there was a company in California, I believe, who had produced on a very small scale a plastic card with a magnetic stripe. Docutel worked out something where their objection was satisfied, so the patent to Docutel was issued in 1973. But it was not a totally exclusive-type patent that you can get on some products. That's my understanding of it.
David: The way you told the story, you made the internal design, using existing technology for the pieces. Did you follow other people involved in doing something pretty similar that you drew on? Or did you mostly follow your own model?
Don: Well, you know the product that we developed was exactly that: we developed it. I don't know what the company did with the stripe out in California but it was a very minuscule type of thing. I feel like we developed the magnetic stripe on a plastic card. We didn't personally develop it, we pushed it on a plastic card manufacturer to develop it. So I would think that we were responsible for those stripes on plastic cards that we all see today. There were machines that gave out coins. You put a dollar in and it gave out coins. Ours was a little different but it was a dispensing mechanism, so there was nothing unique to that. A lot of printers were out there. Some very sophisticated ones, some not so sophisticated. We had to modify whatever was there to fit our needs. So I can't say that we went from nowhere to what we had, and we developed it all.
David: But you had a unique way of putting the pieces together.
Don: Right.

Article: From Guy Waiting In Line To ATM's 30th Bday.
Article from: Banking Wire Article date: June 18, 2003
The automatic teller machine (ATM) has just turned 30.
On June 4, 1973, a trio of inventors-Don Wetzel, Tom Barnes and George Chastain-were granted a patent on the machine, the idea for which is largely credited to Wetzel even though there were attempts as early as 1939 to develop such an "automatic teller."
Wetzel said he first got the idea in 1968 while waiting in the lobby of a Dallas bank. At the time he was VP-product planning with Docutel, a manufacturer of automated baggage handling equipment for airlines and airports. The first working prototype was created in 1969, but the patent was not issued until four years later

On This Day In Finance: June 4 - The Birth Of The Modern ATM
By Investopedia Staff on June 04, 2009
On June 4, 1973, the first patent for the automated teller machine (ATM) is awarded to Don Wetzel, Tom Barnes and George Chastain of Docutel. The patent was issued following years of research at an estimated cost of $5 million.
Although Docutel was credited with the creation of the first magstripe ATM (known as the Docuteller at the time), the idea and use of less advanced ATMs dates back to the late 1930s. Several other prototypes were introduced to the public over the next 30 years, however the free-standing magstripe machine was the eventual victor and is still used by financial institutions to this day.
The first Docuteller was installed at New York City's Chemical Bank in 1969, while the first fully functioning "Total Teller" was introduced in 1971. Following the awarding of the patent in 1973, ATMs begin to spread across the nation and have remained a constant in consumer banking.

CREDIT CARD AUTOMATIC CURRENCY DISPENSER
Abstract
A currency dispenser automatically delivers a medium of exchange in packets in response to a coded credit card presented thereto. The coded credit card is presented to the currency dispenser and an initial check is made to determine if the card has the proper format. After checking the credit card format, coded information thereon is evaluated to check the user's identity prior to authorizing him to receive cash from the machine. When each of several additional checks of the credit card code have been completed, the old code is removed and substituted with a new code. The new code contains the same information as the old but updated to reflect an additional currency dispensing transaction. Both the original code and the updated code are scrambled in accordance with a changing key. Scrambling the credit card code after each use thereof minimizes the chance of unauthorized use of the currency dispenser. When the checks of the credit card code indicate the user is entitled to receive the amount of currency he has selected, a storage container for the packets of currency transports the required number of packets by a positive feed drive to a cash drawer. The cash drawer opens to a detent position which allows the customer to then move the drawer to a fully open position to remove his currency. Upon release of the cash drawer, it returns to a partially opened position from which it automatically closes after a preset time limit.

Evidence from the Patent Record on the Development of Cash Dispensing Technology
Bernardo Bátiz-Lazo and Robert J.K. Reid
Abstract —There are but a handful of systematic studies on the history of automated teller machines (ATMs) yet all fail to address the issue of paternity while perpetrating ‘commonwisdom’ beliefs. This article looks at the birth of currency dispensing equipment, the immediate predecessor to the ATM. At the simplest level, at least four separate instance of innovation can reasonably claim to be the origin of the concept. However,the question as to who invented it is less illuminating than an understanding of the process of innovation itself and how these competing families developed into the modern conception of an ATM. Our research supports the view of user-driven innovation as surviving business records and oral histories tell of close involvement of bank staff in establishing requirements and choosing amongst alternative solutions in the implementation of first generation technology. This case thus shows greater understanding in the user’s role in shaping and directing technological development.

I. INTRODUCTION
THERE is a great deal of confusion over who should be credited with the invention of cash dispensers (the technology that fathers automated teller machines or ATMs).This is mostly as a result of parallel developments on both sides of the Atlantic that took place through a number of companies – each coming from different sectors and with its own competitive dynamics. For example, a patent family emerges from the Docutel Corporation (US patent US3761682, filed on October 7, 1971) that has a claim to being the original conception of the ATM.

The American Presidency Project
William J. Clinton
XLII President of the United States: 1993 - 2001
Remarks Welcoming the World Series Champion Atlanta Braves
February 26, 1996
The President. Thank you very much. Senator Nunn, Congressman Lewis, Congressman Bishop, Terry McGuirk, Harvey Schiller, Bill Bartholomay, Stan Kasten, John Schuerholz, and to Bobby Cox and the coaches, the staff, and of course, the Atlanta Braves, let me welcome you all to the White House. We are delighted to have you here.
Secretary Riley is relocating from South Carolina to Georgia as a result of the outcome of the World Series. [Laughter] We're glad to see you here.
This is a happy day for all of us. Three years ago, shortly after I became President, I had occasion to meet the Canadian Prime Minister when he hosted a meeting in Vancouver between President Yeltsin and me. And he wanted to have all this high-flowing policy discussion, and I said, "Now, before anything else, I want to tell you that my number one objective in our relations with Canada is to win the World Series back." [Laughter] And I want to thank the Atlanta Braves for helping my foreign policy with Canada to succeed.
It was a great season, and it was a magnificent World Series victory. Since 1990 this team has been the winningest team in baseball, with three National League pennants and four division titles and an absolutely extraordinary level of performance, which for every baseball fan in America has been a thrilling thing to watch. Your victory is very well-deserved, not only because you have been there before but throughout the season you were dogged by doubts and secondguessing. I can identify with that. [Laughter] You proved your critics wrong, and you achieved baseball's highest goal by overcoming adversity and criticism.
Casey Stengel once said, good pitching beats good hitting and vice versa. [Laughter] Well, the Braves proved that last year. You had great hitting, great fielding, and great pitching. Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux have won every Cy Young Award for the past 5 years. You may have an antitrust suit on your hands, even with baseball's exemption. [Laughter]
We were all thrilled by Dave Justice's play and his solo home run in the final game, which put the Braves on top. And we were—I think all of us who grew up around baseball were literally stunned—I think "stunned" is the only word—by the success of your entire pitching staff. We may never see a performance like that again in my lifetime, and I want to compliment all of them, especially since Senator Nunn told me on the way in they were all good golfers as well. [Laughter]
I think the Braves have shown us the best side of professional sports: perseverance and hard work and commitment, and a commitment that has endured over seasons. There really does seem to be a spirit of teamwork that has worked for this team. At a time when so many people wonder whether the team spirit and the ties to community still characterize professional athletics, the Braves have demonstrated beyond doubt that in Atlanta and with the Braves that is still the truth, and that it has been richly rewarded by consistent performance year-in and year-out and finally by the World Series victory.
For all of that, I say on behalf of our entire country, congratulations. Welcome to the White House. It is an honor to have you here. And if you keep doing what you've been doing I expect you'll be here for several more years, and I hope I'm around for a few of them to welcome you back. Thank you very much.
[At this point, several gifts were presented to the President.]
The President. Thank you very much. I looked in here hoping I could find out how many strokes I would get from each player. [Laughter]
Let me say again to all of you, I welcome you here. We're going to take a little picture now and then have a receiving line next door so we can bring everyone in. It occurred to me that I ought to make one more point since the team is here and we were forced to delay this once because of the operation in Bosnia.
This room is a good reminder of why teams and why this country should never say die. And I think I should tell you this. It was in this room in 1814, 182 years ago, that symbolically the light of liberty in America almost went out. This room was all set up for a fancy banquet, and unbeknownst to the people who were planning to come, in the War of 1812, the British had actually landed a few miles from here.
And our President, James Madison, was the last President of the United States that actually was the operating Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. He was out of the White House, and his wife, Dolley, was basically going to host this dinner we were having. And so James Madison sent his wife word that the British were coming and that she should get out of here before she was killed.
But she had to save that picture of George Washington, which was painted in 1797, 200 years ago next year, by Gilbert Stewart. And we bought it for $500 in 1797. It's worth a dollar or two more today. [Laughter] She cut that picture out of a frame, rolled it up, and just before the British rolled in here she cleared out, along with all the party-goers. They came in and had the gall to eat all of our food, and then they burned the house down. And a lot of people thought the next day that America's days were numbered. It didn't turn out that way.
And I think if we all remember that, we can do more in our own lives to help our country, our teams, our families, and our communities. And that's the sort of spirit you've exhibited. I hope you'll—when times get tough, you'll remember that story. That was a long time ago, and we're still here.
God bless you, and thank you.
NOTE: The President spoke at 5:55 p.m. in the East Room at the White House.

The Outer Limits Season 4 Episode 4
In Another Life
Aired Friday 9:00 PM Feb 16, 1998 on Showtime
Mason Stark hates his life. A year ago, he lost his wife Kristin to a mugger's bullet and he still blames himself for not doing more to protect her. And today, he was fired from his job. With a gun in his hand and a severance package on his desk, Mason finds himself torn between suicide and psychosis -- between killing himself and killing his co-workers. But before he can do either he's pulled into another dimension, into a world where there are hundreds of Mason Starks, each with a different life and a different character. The version of himself that brought Mason here is a powerful, manipulative man -- we know him as Stark -- who, in this dimension, runs the same company that fired Mason. Stark explains that he built a machine, the Quantum Mirror, to explore all those different versions of himself, only to have his experiment go horribly wrong because he pulled a murderous version of himself, a man we know as Mace, into his reality. Now Stark wants Mason to stop the killer and promises to reunite him with Kristin as his reward. In this looking glass world, Mason must hunt himself on behalf of himself, in a desperate race to stop a killer ... and change his own life for the better.
