Abstract
An identification system for guaranteeing that a cash box adapted to receive revenue from an associated fare box is delivered to an authorized location; the system includes a transmitter as part of the cash box for generating a coded series of pulses uniquely identifying the particular cash box; a receiver is included as part of the fare box for receiving that coded series of pulses; a microcomputer connected to the output of the receiver reads and decodes the coded series of pulses to provide the identification number for the particular cash box; the microcomputer also stores the cash box number in its memory; further provided is an arrangement for selectively varying the coded series of pulses so as to uniquely identify each of a group of cash boxes.
