Dating Machine


日期機
小學的時候獨自一人搭火車到外婆家,看見售票員將車票刷過日期機,日期就印在車票上,非常有趣。車票每次刷過日期機時,就會發出公用電話退幣孔金屬擦撞的聲音。去年買了兩部在台灣曾經使用過形式的日期機,是日本天虎公司製造的。不同的是十年代的數字中,日本所使用的為4,5,6或5,6,1;台灣所使用的則無限制。

Dating Machine

I went to my grandmother’s house by train on myself when I was a primary school student. I saw the ticket seller take Edmondson ticket across the dating machine and date had to be printed. It’s so funny.Last year, I bought 2 different dating machines which the style used in Taiwan, both made in Japan. It is different that the year 10’ used in Japan is only 4, 5, 6 or 5, 6, 1, it’s not limited that used in Taiwan.
