    Yep.

    This do you then guv?

    Coins are inserted into slots in the top of the center section of the till, and movement of the lever from side to side causes the coins to make their way into the drawer, a bell ringing at each step. The racks at the side have a glass back; it’s thought that these were used to stack counted coins. Cox also made a version of the till with a single side rack.

    :P

    Maybe the glass is so you can see the coins stacking up inside it :?:

    This is a J.C. Cox Coin Till, the main selling point for it was that it was supposed to stop mistakes and disputes about which coin was given in payment since coins from the last four transactions could be seen through the glass on the right side. The coins were dropped into a slot at the top and progressed down to the next level by means of a brass lever which moved from side to side. Finally the coins were retained in a locked box at the base. The shelves on the left were for counted stacked coins and the bowl was for miscellaneous coins.

    You didn't get it and you did a search.

    Post the next one, on you go - at least then I won't have to put up with the noise of you bawling and throwing your toys out of the pram.

    Here is my effort. Possibly very easy.

    I'm not giving anyone any idea of scale other than to say the piece of paper is A4
