I will have to question the previous answerer's reply and wonder why he chose to fib like that. I've operated a string of ATMs for 11 years and of a variety of brands and none of them weigh more than 216 lbs. I even have three that are a mere 115 lbs.
The Colossus machine weighed approximately 7 tons.
ATM cards have a magnetic stripe on the back that contains information such as the card number and expiration date. When the card is swiped at an ATM machine, the magnetic stripe is read by a magnetic card reader, allowing the machine to access the necessary account information to complete the transaction.
The first ATM (automated teller machine) was invented in 1967 by John Shepherd-Barron in Scotland. It was installed at a branch of Barclays Bank in London.
A common machine used for lifting heavy objects is a crane. Cranes are equipped with cables, pulleys, and motors to hoist and move heavy loads to desired locations. They come in various designs such as tower cranes, mobile cranes, and overhead cranes to suit different lifting needs.
Yes, a pulley is a simple machine that is commonly used to lift heavy objects by reducing the amount of force required to lift them. It works by changing the direction of the force applied and distributing it evenly among multiple ropes or cables, making it easier to lift heavy loads.
