Nothing to do with Hudsons, but....
I also found this on Trade Me:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/0187-3224-3225-/auction-53519174.htm
My first job was with National Cash Register in Melbourne, Australia (and
Geoff used to work for Burroughs, the dreaded opposition). From time to
time we would take a truck load of old cash registers like this one and
accounting machines, too, to the rubbish tip and smash them with sledge
hammers so that they wouldn't ever come back in to the repair and
maintenance cycle. This was compensating for over-engineered products that
wouldn't die!
Happy days.........Pete R.
