He commissioned architect Frank Andrews to "recast NCR in well-separated, steel framed buildings with walls 80 percent glass," which allowed workers to see what they were doing. Didn't take long for him to figure the work environment was terrible. NCR founder John Patterson had experienced some serious quality problems in 1894 (with defective cash registers being returned) at his dimly lit "sweatshops" of the period to find out why quality tanked, he moved his desk to the factory floor. These "lots" were the locations of the factory buildings that created the mechanicals for the cash registers depicted in the photo. I remember seeing all these open spaces that were parking lots with no cars. My new manager was in Dayton and would have to travel there often. I worked for a tech company in Atlanta that NCR acquired in the mid-1980s.
