One Hundred Years Ago continues
THE MENAHGA MESSENGER
June 19, 1908
A NEW BOOKKEEPER
State Bank of Menahga Installs Adding Machine
The new bookkeeper at the Bank is arousing a good deal of interest among local business men. It is nothing but a machine – "brains in a box" they call it – but it was sold on a life contract to do all the adding and "figuring" required by the bank everyday.
Its real name is the Burroughs adding and listing machine, and it will put down figures in long columns and add them up faster than six expert book-keepers. Moreover, the makers guarantee that it cannot make a mistake, as the best book-keeper will sometimes do. This makes it an insurance of the insurance of the accuracy of the bank´s accounts with its patrons, and shows the progressiveness of the bank officials.
When you stand in front of this machine and consider that it is nothing but a mass of wheels and buttons, you find it hard to believe that it will actually set down columns of figures a mile long if necessary and give the correct answer instantly.
William Seward Burroughs, who invented the wonderful adding machine, was a bank clerk whose health was destroyed by the drudgery of bank work and had to give it up to save his life. He thereupon resolved to invent a machine that would do the hard work in a bank, although no one had succeeded out of hundreds of inventors who had attempted the task. That was a quarter century ago, and Burroughs worked for years before he had even a model of his invention to show. He met with very little encouragement or assistance in those dark days, because everyone regarded him as a "crank" who was trying to achieve the impossible.
At last, however, he produced a rough model that would actually set down figures and add them, but it was years after that before he had an entirely practical machine that could be placed on the market and even then he was not satisfied, for he called in the first hundred machines that were sold, took them to an upper story of the building where he had his workshop and threw the whole lot of machines one on top of the other in a shapeless mass of scrap on the paving of the courtyard below. It is not hard to believe that he shed tears as he thus voluntarily destroyed what was practically his life work.
But that was not the end, Burroughs continued to strive for perfection, until at last he produced perpect. This is the Burroughs adding and listing machine of to-day, and although it has been in successful operation for over 15 years, it has never been improved upon. The essential principles of the device as it left Burroughs´ hands remained unchanged today.
