Facts
In the 1960s, American Machine and Foundry ("AMF" ; AMF, Inc.) began producing computerized cash registers. For $20,000, McDonald's purchased a prototype in Illinois.
The prototype was installed in April of 1968. Later, McDonald's order 23 units. In turn, AMF promised to deliver the units by the middle of 1969.
The prototype was functioning sub-par; so, it constantly needed service. McDonald's was disappointed with the unit's design flaws.Case Text Links
