FAREWELL NCR CELEBRATION PICNIC AT OLD RIVER PARK

On Thursday, June 24, 2010, over 500 NCR associates showed up for a

gathering at Old River to celebrate NCR’s 126th year legacy in Dayton, Ohio.

It was a great picnic and good time for all. It included lots of laughter, a mix

of tears and emotion, and a lifetime of history on display. Many thanks to

those NCR folks who planned the event. For complete story and photos, see

page 10.

During the event, the NCR REA introduced people to our organization and

distributed over 300 membership brochures. As a result, we have already

acquired some new members!

We look forward to seeing you in September.

Sincerely,

Gordon E. Meister

President

N ow for some interesting, historical

tidbits!

Longest Customer Name?

Back in 2006, I wrote an article about

what some folks thought to be the

longest customer name ever to appear

on an NCR order form. It was a Greek name with 33 letters! Recently, one of our retired friends, Ian Ormerod

of NCR England, read that article and relayed to me a

story about an English customer with an unusual name. In 1961, a Class 51 was sold to a store in

LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCI, Wales. This village

name actually means, “The church of St. Mary in the

hollow of the White Hazel trees.”

NCR Street Names

Any of you who worked at or visited NCR Dayton

during your career probably remember two campus

streets named L and K. Ever wonder why NCR used letter designations rather than common street names?

According to the 1895 Dayton Atlas, the area where the

NCR factory was finally built had been previously platted as residential. Since the Patterson family owned

the land, we believe that Mr. Patterson had plans to sell

the property for individual housing. The Atlas shows

both a Key Street and a Locust Street running east and west from Main Street, up near the University of Dayton,

where land was still uncharted by the city.

We surmise that around the late 1800s, Mr. Patterson

was concerned that the Miami, Mad, and Stillwater

Rivers would someday flood downtown Dayton. (Of course, 1913 proved him right!) With that in mind and

factory expansion a must, Mr. Patterson decided to move

the factory from downtown Dayton to his property up the hill and to the south of the city. At that time, the property

was charted and mapped as a manufacturing complex.

The new maps no longer showed a Key Street or a

Locust Street. Instead, they showed K and L streets. Evidently, the names Key and Locust were already used

elsewhere in the city, so a name change was necessary.

Microfiche to the Rescue

As American businesses grew in size and number, so did the amount of paper documents those companies

generated. As a result, efficient document storage and

retrieval became a huge problem. In 1961, an NCR

scientist came to the rescue. Working in California, Carl Carlson developed a solution to the problem. He was able

to reduce images by a factor greater than 200 to 1, then

place those images on film. Born was the Microfiche. The

average film sheet was 4x6 inches and contained 100 typewritten pages. Special magnification readers were

developed to retrieve and read the film. To test the limits

of the process, NCR was able to reduce the complete Bible onto a film sheet only two inches square. To promote the

process, NCR distributed thousands of these. With

millions of documents preserved and stored in this manner, and with an estimated 500 years life expectancy,

in spite of the computer, microfiche is still used today!

Charles Kettering Inventions For NCR

Straight out of Engineering School at Ohio State, Charles

Kettering joined the Inventions Department with NCR in 1904. Before he left NCR to found Dayton Engineering

Laboratories Company (Delco) to develop, build. and

market the first electric starter for the automobile, he developed and patented two major inventions for the

Company.

First, he developed an electric motor that opened a cash

-register drawer automatically with no manual cranking!

The first unit was installed in the Cigar Shop of the Phillips Hotel in Dayton. The first day, 2800 sales were

registered as curious customers purchased cigar products

just to see the cash register operate.

Second, Kettering developed the first credit system. At

the time, when customers wanted to purchase on credit,

there was no efficient way to verify the customer had good

credit with the store, and no good method to approve the

sale.

Often, the Credit Department was far away from the sales floor and in bigger stores, it was usually on a

different floor. If a merchant granted undue credit, the

store could incur a loss. Still, the merchant didn’t want to

upset customers by making them wait too long for

approval.

The Solution: Mr. Kettering modified a standard

telephone with a solenoid-operated stamping device and connected phones by dedicated lines from the sales

departments to the Credit Department. A salesperson

would call the Credit Department, provide customer information, and within a few moments receive verbal

refusal, or the Credit Department would push a button that

embossed the sales slip showing the credit approved.

DID YOU KNOW...

IN MEMORIAM This column depends on your contribution of information about the deaths of your former co-workers and friends who were NCR

INTRODUCING STEVE WICINSKI , YOUR NEW

EDITOR

by Steve Wicinski

G reetings everyone – friends, retirees, former colleagues! I hope this issue of the

NCR REA newsletter finds you happy, healthy, and enjoying the Summer

season! Seems like 2010 just arrived, and now we’re more than half way

through the year! Life certainly rolls on and presents us many new challenges.

Since the Q2 issue, you may have already noticed that the REA Board of Directors has

graciously passed the newsletter baton over to me. Your former editor, Dennis Neufarth,

is still actively involved with the REA and has taken on some other projects. As I could

clearly see from previous newsletters, Dennis is a fantastic editor and continues to do a fabulous job for

this organization. As the new guy on the block, I walk gingerly in Mr. Neufarth’s footsteps in hopes to live

up to the high standards he set for this job. So I thank Dennis and the entire NCR REA Board for giving me

this opportunity to serve one of NCR’s most precious legacies – the retirees – and all other REA members

who have contributed to NCR’s successes.

ABOUT MY NCR CAREER

Like you, I am a former NCR employee – with 31 years of service! I started my NCR career in 1978 as a

software programmer, supporting commercial banking and savings and loan applications. (I still remember

how proud my parents were when I told them, “I got a job at “The Cash!”) Back then, I was a techie who

loved anything and everything to do with computers. NCR NEAT/3 and COBOL were the programming

languages of choice at that time, and I just thrived on that stuff. On my creative side, I also loved writing,

so developing technical and end-user software documentation came naturally to me.

By the early 1980s, I enjoyed writing so much, I became a full-time technical writer or, as HR called us,

“Publications Specialists.” (And yes; I am one of the Ted Brusaw’s former tech-writing students!) Clearly,

I found my niche. Not only did I bring my technical background to the role, I also had the freedom to be

creative while writing user guides, technical manuals, and so on. It was that mix of skills that set me on

course for the rest of my NCR career as a professional communicator!

Through the 1980s and 1990s, I held several project-leadership roles where I led technical-writing teams

responsible for software documentation. In the late 1990s, I engaged in a dual writer / programmer role,

launching new publishing technology (SGML) solutions across the company. It was that position that

landed me in various higher management jobs responsible for software-development teams, data-

conversion teams, and writing staffs. Those were exciting times supporting new mainstream initiatives

such as online documentation, web-site development, online training, and so on.

In 2000, I joined an exciting new NCR start-up business called eCommerce Solutions. By then, Internet

Banking was becoming a major player on the World Wide Web, and NCR was just then getting in the

game. I joined the team as their Communications Manager. Truly a dream job! I created and implemented

all their communications programs, allowing me to constantly collaborate with all NCR business units!

NCR Ret i ree News Page 6

INTRODUCING STEVE WICINSKI , YOUR NEW

EDITOR (CONTINUED)

Regretfully, in April of 2009, my dream job as Director of Technical and Marketing Communications for

NCR eCommerce ended, along with several other colleagues’ positions. A month later, I was offered a

transitional role in Atlanta, GA, but I declined. Dayton is and always will be my home. And with today’s

technologies, there’s no reason anyone should have to uproot their lives to sit in a cubicle in another city or

state -- especially after such dedication. So I’m staying put. “Sorry Atlanta; you can’t have it all!”

Although I was deeply saddened to no longer work for NCR, and saddened the company left Dayton, I

can’t deny how good NCR was to me all these years. It was a good run. I learned a lot and made a great

living. Best of all, I established solid work ethics and life-long relationships with several wonderful people

along the journey. Those priceless benefits will last me a lifetime. I thank NCR for that.

MY FAMILY

On October 31 (yes, Halloween), I will have been married to

my wonderful wife, Ellen, for 29 years. We have one son,

Brandon, soon to be 25, who is married and starting a family of

his own. Of course, there’s the family dog, Taco, a Chihuahua

mix, who is 15, grouchy, yet still loveable. Presently, most of

our extended family and relatives are in Dayton, so that makes

for easy reunions!

MY NEW BUSINESS

Since leaving NCR, instead of immediately delving into another 8-5 routine, I opted to pursue something

different -- my own technical and marketing communications business. For me, it’s a huge leap of faith

after steadily working for NCR the last three

decades. But if I was ever going to do this, at age 52,

now was the time.

Affectionately, I named my company WriteData

Services, LLC (http://www.writedataservices.com) after my love for writing and what the industry now

calls “content engineering.” So far, things are going pretty well and I enjoy working with a diverse set of

clients. Clearly, running a business is reminiscent of days at NCR when I had to collaborate with numerous

departments and personalities. I have to say that my most recent client, the NCR REA, is one of my

favorites! Truly a great group of people who care deeply about all of you!

Aside from all the business stuff, I am an avid musician. I am a trained singer, plus I play bass and acoustic

guitars, and piano. For those who knew me in my younger years, yes; I STILL perform in local rock bands

in the Dayton and surrounding areas. My stage name is Steve Capri, a name I’ve carried over into my

professional life as a published author, columnist, and speaker.

Please contact me anytime at: stevecapri@earthlink.net. I look forward to hearing from you! Cheers!

FROM OUR MEMBERS

FAREWELL NCR PICNIC ….. A BITTERSWEET EVENT FOR ALL …..

O n Thursday, June 24, 2010, a Farewell to Dayton picnic took place at Old River Park. This

event was coordinated by NCR employees Paul

Boutin, Michelle Lamance, Rose Jeffries, Warren

Mansfield, June Newell, and Mary Wagner.

For many years, the saying around NCR and Dayton was

“They all come back to the Cash.” Well, on this occasion,

they did! More than 500 current and former employees lined

up to get their name tags as they entered the Park for a picnic

lunch with old friends.

Donations were accepted to pay for the food. Support was provided by local area businesses including,

NCR REA, Bellyfire Catering, Teradata, Bonbright Distributing, Mike Sell’s, University of Dayton, Prime

Time Party Rental, Dorothy Lane Market, Kroger, Dayton History, and the NCR Archive.

Over the years, time, hair styles, and clothing may have changed, but not the fellowship shared by NCR

coworkers and friends. Truly a day to remember.

NCR Ret i ree News Page 11

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

NCR REA members attended the event for fellowship and to promote your organization. A big THANK

YOU to Peg Butts, REA Trustee, who distributed brochures and applications and answered many

questions about the association. Due to her efforts, NCR REA has several new members!

No, this was not a bittersweet cake, but it was that kind of event. From what we observed, people were

very happy to see one another. There were many handshakes, hugs, kisses, laughs, and even a few tears.

Although the longtime icon of NCR in Dayton is no more, its legacy remains in the form of friendships,

marriages, families, companies, social and cultural contributions, and the many stories that will live on.

NCR Ret i ree News Page 12

A LITTLE HUMOR (F O R T H E O V E R - 50 G E N E R A T I O N )

Submitted by Dennis Neufarth (author unknown)

I think about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees -- all

without a Blackberry that played music, took videos, pictures, and

communicated with Facebook and Twitter.

Under duress, I signed up for Twitter and Facebook, so that my

seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids, and two great grand kids could

communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with

only 140 characters of space.

That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon,

Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone

and every other program within the texting world.

My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel

movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I still keep my cell phone in

the garage inside my golf bag.

The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday, because they say I get lost every now and then

going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth

phone (which is red) I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore the phone once and was standing in

line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife as everyone in the nearest 50 yards kept glaring at me.

Seems I have to remove my hearing aid to use it, and I got a little loud.

I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside was the most annoying,

rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes she would sarcastically say,

"Re-calc-ul-ating." You would think she could be nicer. It was as if she could barely tolerate me. She

would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then, when I would

make a right turn instead, it was not good.

Now when I get really lost, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets, and while she is

starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least I know she loves me.

To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We

have had them for four years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and

have to run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets

when the phone rings.

The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery

store. You would think they could settle on something themselves. But this sudden "Paper or Plastic?"

every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid

looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me.

Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to

me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look.

Recently, I was asked if I tweet. I answered, "No, but I do toot a lot."

On June 24, a farewell picnic took place at Old River Park. See complete story and pictures on page 10.

On July 1, 2010, the University of Dayton took possession of the NCR World Headquarters (WHQ)

building and the grounds that include Old River Park. Shorty thereafter, the university removed the NCR

sign located at the 1700 S. Patterson Blvd. entrance, and removed the logo from the WHQ building.

The photo above shows “The Bunker,” the only remaining NCR-Dayton building which houses NCR’s

computer / telecommunications center. Although NCR employees still work there, future plans for this

facility are yet unknown.
