shoebox Comptometers - Guest Postings
( Important note )

It is with great sadness that on Feb 19, 2006, I found it necessary to close off any further postings here. There has always been a certain amount of offensive and/or obscene 'graffit-e' requiring periodic culling, a burdensome and time-consuming task. And, since early 2004, a huge increase in trival (albeit well-meaning) posts have added considerable clutter. Now web-crawlers seem to be at work, sniffing out postable pages and leaving promotional messages with irrelavant links. This has just become too much trouble to monitor and maintain.

For those who have a need to contact me, there is always eMail and I would strongly suggest you include the word "Comptometer" in the subject line to insure getting past the spam filters.

Finally, I'd like to thank all those who have been so kind as to post encouraging and often, flattering, remarks. I'm grateful that the work has found such a receptive readership.

Comments: Your great web page brought back many memories. I learned to operate comptometers (F&T and Burroughs) at a business college in the early 1950s, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Plus the floor model Burroughs bank machines and manual typewriters. I am on a fast track to acquire one of these gems. Thanks for the info. Dick

Comments: We have found your website to be very good and informative. We have what appears to be a Model "F" (S/N 105616) comptometer. Our comptometer has some characteristics that I cannot find any explaination about. Our comptometer has 9 columns (from left to right, 1 black column, 3 white columns, 3 black columns, and 2 white columns) instead of the 8, 10, or 12 column models. Also, on the black metal cover, there is a little capital "E". If anyone could provide more information about the 9 column comptometer and the metal cover, it would be appreciated.

Comments: In 1974, I started working in accounting at a major steel producer in Hamilton, Ontario. The machine that was provided to me to calculate payroll and production statistics was a Comptometer. It was amazing how adept we became with this machine; it was remarkably primitive and sophisticated at the same time. Later, I was given a Marchant and that was considered a big jump in technology. The Marchants eventually ended up in the mill offices, where the plant employees would delight in dividing a million by one and letting it go until the machine started to smoke. Great web site ... I hope to find a machine at a garage sale some day.

Comments: I have two British spec Model J machines, J313646 is 8 column plus carry in farthings - ie. max value is 99,999 pounds 19 shillings 11 pence and 3 farthings - and J313785 which is 12 column plus carry in pennies - ie. max value is 9,999,999,999 pounds 19 shillings and 11 pence (but no farthings). I was given the big one as a joke when I started a computer science course in 1983 ("here is something which might be useful on your course...") and I bought the little one about three years ago for 18 pounds at a flea market (the vendor said it had been in use until recently by a funeral directors). The only other machines I have ever seen were in the Science Museum in London who were helpful when I contacted them. I also have a UK spec Plus Part-Keyboard similar to the 1952 adverts. That one is 9 columns plus carry in farthings. A lot of people think the Plus was a US machine but mine carries a data plate saying that it was built by the "original designers and patentees", The London Computator Corporation. I paid 10 pounds for it in a junk shop. My big Comptometer suffers from the same weeping key syndrome mentioned on your site and quite a few of the keys have shrunk about 20% in size. Only the white keys are affected, not the green ones. All three machines work. My big machine is missing one white 7 keytop and a white 11 keytop (for the pennies) and my PLUS is missing the S of PLUS if anyone has some spares and can help. There are pictures of my machines at http://www.earthdweller.co.uk/objmain.html . I will add a link from that page of my site to your site shortly.

Comments: I just picked up an F-model, SN122339, for $2 at a yard sale. The adding was not reliable, and in my efforts to diagnose the stuck spring, I jammed it (because of said stuck springed lever). 3 days and many hours later, I learned/fixed it to working order. Great toy.

Comments: I bought a model F Comptometer SR# 132464 at a yard sale on 07/22/2000. It is in good condition, fully functional. The woman I bought it from worked for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. She purchased it from the B&O, when they were upgrading to different machines, in the late 1940's to use in a side business. What is the approciment value of a model F in good condition? She also had two of another model Comptometer. They were green and rounded and had one key for division and multiplication with 11column of numbers (if I remember correctly). They looked more modern, art deco style. This model was also made by Felt & Tarrant Co. There was not a plate with patents dates or model numbers on them. Does anyone know any thing about these including value?

Comments: I have three Model F comptometers which I am considering selling on Ebay. They are serial numbers 102980, 108668 and 138147. It does not appear that they were produced in that order since the name plates on the first two indicate that 108668 was produced before 102980 due to the patents listed. The third one does not have a plate. Two of them have key tops missing. None of the key tops match the other machines. All of them are functional but need a good cleaning. I don't think they would pass all the tests, but have not taken the time to try. Any interest in these machines?

Comments: I just found a Felt & Tarrant Comptometer at a garage sale. Was fasinated by the machine and it's look. Mine works great and is in great condition. Nothing is missing. The keys are black and ivory. After reading your web site I believe I own a H Model SN200226. I would like to find out what it is worth. I have enjoyed your site. It was full of wonderful information. Thank-you.

Comments: My Mom recently died at age 98. Despite many "near misses" to getting rid to the comptometer she used in my Dad's accounting office, I still have hers and ascertain from this website that it must be a model H (SN 234482). I don't know now to operate it nor whether it is functional; but I will look further on the website for hints to operate it.

Comments: Saw my first machine at a Southern California swap meet in the mid 1960s for $5.00, we used it for years in my mom's antique store, it was complete with no missing parts other than the four rubber feet on the bottom and worked for years with no problems or glitches. Just recently cleaned out much of my mom's stuff and found it in a room full of leftovers from the shop. It has serial number 217039 so that would make it the H model. It still works as well as it did all the years I was delegated the task to add up the various days sales when I was young, still no missing or damaged parts, just an extra thick layer of dust. I was always fascinated with many gadgets I could find over the years this is one of the few I didn't destroy taking apart, too useful for adding up those long columns to risk it not being able to put it back together, many fond memories....

Comments: I have lost lots of time going through this site and having memories awakened. I grew up playing with my grandfather's Comptometer (a J I think). He used it constantly, and taught me to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. (I always used to forget the divide algorithm). One of the fun things was entering all 9s and then adding a single 1 to it. At times I would jam the keys, but the next time I was there, they would mysteriously be fixed. I've always wondered if this experience over the years (along with reading lots of science fiction) helped propel me into computers in the late 60s. Family lore tells me that he had started at Comptometer as an office boy (left home in Texas at 14 because of too many mouths to feed and came to Los Angeles), and worked his way up to western regional sales manager for Comptometer. I heard stories of his making sure all the workers got paid during the depression. I examined the photo of 100 salesmen, but didn't see any that looked like his younger photos. His comptometer was later stolen. Over the years, I have acquired two old used ones (both Js) - one mostly functions but has been dropped and was painted black, the other has the beautiful metal work but doesn't function. The keys on one have cracks, on the other they are gooey as though something they were cleaned with interacted with the material. Does anyone know what materials the keytops were made of, and/or what liquids are safe to use for cleaning grime from the keytops? Also, the repair page talks about replacing key shafts and tops together, where does one get these things? I was thinking of making some new key tops using polymer clay Or maybe I'll make some wood, or copper, or sterling silver key tops? I'm torn between opportunites for artistic expression, and restoration, if I do make my own key tops. Thanks for the site! -- it has been quite an evening.

This website gave me some very interesting information, i also mailed the creator of the site and got, within one day, an answer with even more information. It shows in every detail that this is a quality site and so are the people behind it. Many thanks! (if any of you could give me a value on my supertotalizer that would be nice) Gunther (Belgium)

Comments: I just picked up an M-Model yesterday (at a thrift store for $20, don't they know the value!?) and I'm absolutely in love with it! I'm totally using this on my next Physics test. This is a great site, I'm glad it exists; thank you very much for your effort. p.s. Go Slugs!

Comments: My mother was a comptometer operator in Montreal many years ago (WWII era). I wish she was still alive so I could ask her what model(s) she worked on. I know she loved her jobs and loved the comptometer. I look forward to reading through this site.
