'''Kaching''' — a cash register; the counter machine that adds a sale, rings it, shows it and locks the takings away.

== Notes ==
Key-levers on cams, an adding train, a flag that pops up in a glass window facing the
customer, a bell, and a drawer on a spring. A paper roll inside keeps the tally behind a
lock the owner holds the only key to.

The bell is loud deliberately. Every sale is witnessed by the whole shop the moment it
happens, which is the point of the machine and not a side effect of it. A slave who runs a
counter is the person it protects most, since a tally that matches the drawer cannot be
argued with.

[[Clearhold]] registers print a second tally for the Registrars. [[The Iron Coves]] has
none, there being nothing in ''[[Lexicon:Modern/Trashmei|Trashmei]]'' for a key-lever to
add up.

One of the small set of words that barely moved in nine hundred years, because the machine
went on making the sound the word was named for.
