information:  This ticket taker was installed in a theater.  After taking the ticket from the patron, the usher would drop it in the slot at the top.  When the top compartment was full of tickets (visible through the front glass piece) the usher would rotate the handle, grinding the tickets up, to void them (Click the image above to see how it works).
