IBM
IBM was originally called CTR (Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation) before changing to IBM in 1924. The original name comes from the 3 previous companies that were merged together in 1911 to form CTR. These companies were the International Time Recording company, the Tabulating Machine company, and the Computing Scale Corporation.
Herman Hollerith founded the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, or CTR. In 1924 CTR became the International Business Machines Corporation.
Computing-Tablulating-Recording Company was formed in 1911. In 1924 it was renamed to International Business Machines. Today it's known as IBM. === ===
IBM was not actually founded in 1896. One of the three companies merged to create CTR (IBM's former name) was founded in 1896.That company was the Tabulating Machine Company. It was created by Herman Hollerith after his invention helped the U.S. Census Bureau in 1890 to tabulate the census results in one year versus the 8 years it took in 1880.Together with the International Time Recording company and Computing Scale Corporation, the Tabulating Machine company merged to form the Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR for short). It held this name until 1924 when the acting president, Thomas Watson Sr., changed the name to IBM (International Business Machines).Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR)
The mother of Hollerith's machines was the Tabulating Machine Company, which was later renamed to the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) and eventually became IBM. These machines were used for data processing and information storage, revolutionizing the way businesses and governments handled large amounts of information.
He built a "counting" machine for the US census using punched cards and electric contacts. In 1896 he started the Tabulating Machine Company. In 1911, his & 3 other companies formed the Computing Tabulating Recording Company, In 1924 it was renamed International Business Machines Corp (IBM).
IBM (International Business Machines)In 1914 Thomas J Watson joinedComputing-Tabulating-Recording Co., which made weighing scales, timeclocks, and also "tabulators" which sorted information using punched cards. Tabulators were forerunners of the earliest mainframe computers. The company was renamed International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924.
IBM was formed in 1911 as a merger of several existing companies that manufactured scales, time recording equipment and tabulating machines which read punch cards. Originally called Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (C-T-R), they changed their name to International Business Machines Corporation in 1924.
He changed it from "Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company" to International Business Machines Corporation.In 1914 Thomas J Watson joinedComputing-Tabulating-Recording Co., which made weighing scales, timeclocks, and also "tabulators" which sorted information using punched cards. Tabulators were forerunners of the earliest mainframe computers. The company was renamed International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924.
British Tabulating Machine Company was created in 1902.
Thomas J. Watson Sr. was the president of the Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (a.k.a. CTR or C-T-R). He began his tenure as the General Manager of CTR in 1914 and was named President in 1915. He renamed the company the International Business Machines company in 1924.CTR was formed in 1911 by Charles Flint as a merger between:The Tabulating Machine Company; founded in 1896 by Herman Hollerith in the Washington D.C. area.The Computing Scale Company; founded in 1891 by Orange Ozias in the Dayton, OH area.The International Time Recording Company; an acquisition of Bundy Manufacturing Company, the Standard Time Stamp Company, and the Willard and Frick Manufacturing Company. Organized in 1900 by George W. Fairchild. ITR also acquired the Dey Time Register Company in 1907.
IBM was founded on June 16th, 1911. The company was originally called the Computing Tabulting Recording Corporation (or CTR for short). Charles R. Flint approched three separate companies with the possibilities of a merger in 1910. Those companies were;The Tabulating Machine Company; founded in 1896 by Herman Hollerith in the Washington D.C. area.The Computing Scale Company; founded in 1891 by Orange Ozias in the Dayton, OH area.The International Time Recording Company; an acquisition of Bundy Manufacturing Company, the Standard Time Stamp Company, and the Willard and Frick Manufacturing Company. Organized in 1900 by George W. Fairchild. ITR also acquired the Dey Time Register Company in 1907.On February 14th, 1924 Thomas J. Watson Sr., the acting president of CTR, renamed the company the International Business Machines Company, or IBM as we know it now.
