	John H. Patterson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		John Patterson took a dim view of any competition in the cash register business he created, whether it be new registers from other manufacturers or his own equipment sold as used.
		Patterson became somewhat of a national hero and hundreds of people petitioned President Wilson to pardon him and his officers, however the decision was reversed by the Court of Appeals in Cincinnati in 1915, ruling that NCR defense material in the first trial should have been admitted.
		Although Patterson the man may be a dim figure to new generations of NCR employees and Dayton citizens, the ideas he introduced are an everyday part of their working world.

	Video Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		J.H. Patterson's true account, ''The Man Eaters of Tsavo,'' never realizes its potential - the atavistic, almost-mythic menace of phantom lions who claimed the lives of more than 130 men working on a railroad bridge in East Africa.
		And whenever Patterson and Remington prepare to blow them full of holes, they miss, or their guns misfire.
		The new John Hughes-produced movie is relatively faithful to the plot: In London, Cruella De Vil (Glenn Close) orchestrates the dognapping of Dalmatian puppies belonging to Roger and Anita (Jeff Daniels and Joely Richardson) and is ultimately foiled by an animal army and doggy dad and mom Pongo and Perdy.

		John Patterson, a 19th-century Irish engineer drafted by Britain's railroad bosses to build a trestle bridge over an African river, thus expanding the empire a tiny bit more.
		In Tsavo, Patterson is instantly hailed for killing a man-eating lion that had been making life hell for native workers.
		There are also suggestive echoes of Kipling and Conrad in the material and characters, and there are hints of emotional complexity and psychological nuance that make one wish this could have been a great film instead of a merely fun one.
