Remington Rand, Inc.

Remington Rand, Inc.

In 1927 Remington Rand, Inc., was formed by combining the Remington Typewriter Company and the Rand Kardex Bureau, Inc.

During the same year the new company took over the Dalton Adding Machine Company which had in 1903 introduced the first 10-key adding machine. Tabulating machines were added to the new firm’s line of products during 1927 when the Powers Accounting Machine Company was purchased. It was during this time that the first electromechanical filing machines were introduced, the Lektriever and Kardveyer, in the early 1950’s.
