ATM inventor's hospital !

A hospital in Meghalaya at last gets an automated teller machine. The funny thing is that the inventor Adrian Shepherd Barron-was born in that same hospital in the year 1925. Hence the hospital get its 1st ATM half a century after the first machine was installed by Barclays in London in 1967.   While in his bath tub he  was inspired by the chocolate bar disp- ending machine. Thereby he devised the world's 1st ATM. His idea was placed before Barclays and the bank accepted it immediately.
