    Back in the mid-1960s, James Goodfellow was working a development engineer for Glasgow firm Kelvin Hughes, and had been charged with inventing a way to enable customers to withdraw (取) cash from banks when Saturday opening ended. "Most people (work) during the week couldn't get to the bank. They wanted a solution. The solution (be) a machine which would issue cash on demand to a (recognize) customer," he said. "I set out to develop a cash-issuing machine, and (make) this a reality, I invented the pin (personal identification number) and an associated coded token (代币)."

    The cash machine has become a world-conquering piece of technology. There are now 3 million ATMs worldwide, with number forecast to hit 4 million by 2020. The good news for Goodfellow is that people are beginning to know him for his invention. Even (good) for him, the Home Office has now officially recognized his other achievement.
