1892, Dayton, Ohio. NCR model 79
Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.

Brother, can you spare a dime?

Got the NCR part right, and I'll accept the model # as I don't know for sure myself.
But, it's a little larger - think big! - than the usual model and not in Dayton or in 1892

1939 NY Worlds Fair pavilion, Flushing Meadows, Queens, NY It was bright red and the total was the daily visitor count.

Re: Whatzit?
Nice Chuck, you homed right in on it (with a few clues.) I was still puzzling if it was Ritter's "Incorruptible Cashier" machine when I suddenly saw your answer.

Re: Whatzit?
Now Chuck, did you look at this thing?
I don't know where to start... industrial dip tank?

I wound up going to training at the NCR headquarters (then in Dayton). They had a small display about the history of the company including some early cash registers. We also got to hear about the early days of the founding of the company and the "Cash Register Wars". One of the founders was Thomas Watson, forced out, he moved on to help found IBM. Kettering and Deeds were former executives that went on to found Delco.

Those "holes" look like key ways. Possibly to insert "T" shaped removable lift rings?

Re: Whatzit?
Wayne and Chuck, Your imaginations and powers of deduction are wonderful to read as your conclusions and estimations unfold.
Your words, "dip, tank, holes, and ways," would be curiously relevant, with a touch of irony.

Re: Whatzit?
The "holes" look like the are keyed to support something. It looks like maybe a grating or some grid work? The notches extend into the "tank" below. Something like a storm sewer grate.

Maybe it's where the grate fits over the pit where Murph keeps the bears?
