| MONROE 811 ADDING MACHINE This machine is a Monroe 10-key crank-driven adding machine, made sometime in the early 1960's. The full model number on the identification plate is Model 811 H 14. Serial number M-24770-D. These machines were actually built by Olympia in West Germany, and then labeled for and distributed by Monroe in the United States. This machine came complete with ovoid-shaped and zippered carrying case, complete with felt-lined base that has provision for mounting of the crank and paper advance shaft. |

| MONARCH LISTING ADDING MACHINE Readers of my site will find fairly extensive coverage of Monarch Typewriters, and the history of the company that built them. This little machine actually has nothing to do with the Monarch Typewriter Company, except in the sense that Remington ended up completely merging Monarch and re-using the name on typewriters and other products. This 10-key crank-driven adding machine is actually a Remington-Rand product, but which unusually (for adding machines) carries the Monarch brand name. |

| REMINGTON FULL KEYBOARD ADDING MACHINE This 1960's machine is a rather late example of an adding machine with full keyboard. As with the other machines seen on this page, it's not electric, but crank operated. Produced after the Sperry Corporation buyout of Remington-Rand, which produced the Sperry-Rand Corporation. Sharp-eyed collectors might have noted the similarity between this machine and late CLARY adding machines. Sperry-Rand bought out Clary Corporation at the end of August, 1960, and machines like this one and the one below are based on the Clary and not on any previous Remington-Rand machines. |

| REMINGTON CASH REGISTER The relation of this machine to the adding machine seen above is obvious; it's an AMOD variant of register (that's inside terminology for 'adding machine on drawer') developed directly from it. This is a machine which has received practically no press at all in any circles. Cash register collectors are quite fond of Remington cash registers which are unrelated; apparently, the Remington Arms Company set up a cash register division and manufactured machines competitive with the National. The machine you see here has nothing to do with that concern, having been produced by the Remington Rand Office Machines Division of the Sperry-Rand Corporation. |

| RESULTA 7 German-made stylus-operated adding machine with subtract feature. The pen-sized stylus can be seen in the side clip provided to hold it, giving an idea of the size of the machine. The stylus actually has an end which operates the pull-down racks of the machine itself, with the rest of it being a mechanical pencil! |

| McCaskey Register Company AMOD style cash register This machine is quite like the one seen earlier and which belongs to my wife. This one belongs to the both of us, and was a gift from my father. What's really unusual about it is the woodgrained paint applied to the mechanical, or adding machine, portion of the register. I myself only recall having seen one, or maybe two of these before (and only one in person.) This variant is thus quite rare. The special keys on the left row indicate that this machine was configured for use in a butcher shop. Keys for beef, veal and butter are among the items included. You are seeing it here in as-bought condition, prior to any cleanup or inspection. One important fact though is that it is completely operational and has its keys. |
