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.
That company eventually became IBM.
The company which became IBM was founded in 1896 as the Tabulating Machine Company. IBM adopted its current name in 1924.
Herman Hollerith is the founder of The Tabulating Machine Company in 1896 which later became the International Business Machine in 1924, after a few mergers.
Herman Hollerith founded the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, or CTR. In 1924 CTR became the International Business Machines Corporation.
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.
Founded 1891 as the Tabulating Machines Company by Herman Hollerith It officially became IBM after mergers in 1924.
Herman Hollerith financed the development of his electromechanical tabulating machine through a combination of personal savings, support from investors, and contracts with the U.S. Census Bureau. After initially struggling to gain traction, he secured a significant contract for the 1890 census, which provided the necessary funding and validation for his invention. This success led to the establishment of the Tabulating Machine Company, which later became part of IBM.
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.
Herman Hollerith, in Broome County, New York (Endicott, New York, where it still maintains very limited operations). It was incorporated as Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR) on June 16, 1911, and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1916. IBM adopted its current name in 1924, when it became a Fortune 500 company.
IBM's predecessor was the Bundy Manufacturing Company, which merged with several other companies to form the International Time Recording Company in 1911. This company later became part of the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) in 1914, which was renamed International Business Machines (IBM) in 1924. CTR was formed through the merger of Bundy, International Time Recording, and other companies involved in punch card technology and business machinery.
