The person who takes in and doles out money in a bank.
“I have the fingerprints of the court, the sheriff, and every member of the jury. There is hardly a person in this room, white or black, whose natal signature I cannot produce, and not one of them can so disguise himself that I cannot pick him out from a multitude of his fellow creatures and unerringly identify him by his hands. And if he and I should live to be a hundred I could still do it... I have studied some of these signatures so much that I know them as well as the bank cashier knows the autograph of his oldest customer.”
Mark Twain, Pudd’nhead Wilson (1894).
