A cache and Dash with History

Cache container relates to the typical view of "Edison"

Thomas Edison held a record 1,093 patents for his inventions, this series visits a few of the less known inventions he made

Thomas Edison

In 1871, Edison invented the Universal Stock Printer.

This vastly improved on the original ticker invented by Edward Calahan.

His most significant improvement was a mechanism that enabled all of the tickers
on a line to be synchronized so that they printed the same information.

Edison's ticker was used on the stock exchange for several years before being replaced,
but it continued to be used until about 1960 for many other purposes, including the transmission of sports scores.

Congrats to Hartsdale for FTF.
