Beeb: Inventor of cash machine, John Shepherd-Barron, dies
The man credited with being the inventor of the world's first hole-in-the-wall cash dispenser has died in hospital following a short illness. John Shepherd-Barron, who was born in India, to Scottish parents, had been living in Portmahomack in Ross-shire. He died at Inverness's Raigmore Hospital on Saturday, at the age of 84. Mr Shepherd-Barron came up with the idea for a cash machine while in the bath. The first ATM machine was installed at a bank in London in 1967.
