Today, ATMs, or automated teller machines, can be found in most towns and cities. You are able to withdraw cash at any time, day or night, because they typically operate around the clock. In 1968, Don Wetzel, along with Tom Barnes and George Chastan, developed the first modem and successful ATM in the United States. Although the ATM concept was first Proposed in 1968, a functional prototype was constructed in 1969, and Docutel was granted a patent in 1973. A 'data terminal' is all an ATM is. A point where data can be entered or retrieved via a link to the 'Boss-in-Charge', a large computer known as a host processor, is referred to as a 'data terminal'. Many of these terminals are connected to this host processor, which is spread out across the city or country. Usually, the host processor belongs to the bank. If it is a dial-up device, it connects to the various terminals via a modem and telephone line. Alternately, the host processor may establish a 'leased line connection' with all ATMs. This indicates that a modem is not required to dial into a single telephone line that is solely dedicated to the host processor. This line can only be used by you. It is always accessible to the boss-in-charge for his or her exclusive use. These exclusive lines are expensive, but they are useful in areas where daily transactions are extremely high. The host processor connects to the ATMs via either a dial-up or leased line connection, depending on the bank and the number of customers it serves. [SSC CGL 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]
