The Pike Adding Machine
History (from the American Digest of Business Machines, 1924)
"The original Pike adding machines were made commencing 1904, by Pike Adding Machine Company, Orange, New Jersey. The company was taken over by the Burroughs Adding Machine Company, Detroit, Michigan in 1909, and the design developed into the present Burroughs Class 300 machines.
Original Pike models, of which there are many still in use, bear the name "Pike" on the case. Some have a dial directly in front of the printing point to count number of items added. While the printing is visible, the printing point is somewhat out of the line of vision from an operating position, due to the contour of the case necessary to mount the dial counter.
Equipment consists if a 13-inch movable carriage; repeat, non-add, total, and sub-total keys; visible total dials; separate column release keys at top of keyboard."
