We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Passing the cheque for payment.
The cheque is received in the office where the pass-books are made up. A clerk verifies the drawer's balance by consulting cards arranged on a revolving stand ; he compares the signature on the cheque with the specimen held by the bank, notes his approval on the cheque and passes it on to the cashier.
The money is counted by an automatic paying machine.
The inside of the cashier's office is shown. The cashier takes the cheque, picks up some bank notes, counts them out by the automatic paying machine, and deposits the cheque on the counter.
