Competition All mechanical calculators commercialized prior to the Millionaire, like the arithmometer , the Odhner Arithmometer Odhner arithmometer or the comptometer were adding machines and they implemented multiplication by continued addition under operator control. This machine required only one turn of the crank handle to multiply the number entered on the sliders by a multiplier number. This was accomplished by creating a mechanical representation of the multiplication table which could be read and used by the machine. ref Martin, E The Calculating Machines , page 119, Charles Babbage Institute, 1992 ref This machine was very big and heavy and occupied an entire desk.

Deleted image removed Image Standard adding machine.jpg frame right The Standard Adding Machine Standard Adding Machine Company was founded in the early 1900s and was the first company to release a 10 key adding machine . The machine was a breakthrough for its time because it dramatically modernized computing. Earlier key driven adding machines, like the comptometer , featured eight or more columns of nine keys, which made them cumbersome and costly and their operators prone to mistakes. The 10 keys were set on a single row. The invention won an international grand prize during the 1904 World s Fair and was heralded as a modern life preserver in an office journal. History William H. Hopkins, the inventor of the Standard Adding Machine, was a minister. When he moved to St. Louis in 1885 he served as chaplain and then pastor of St. Louis Second Christian Church. He continued to invent during those years and to find better ways to make an adding machine. In the 1890s, he left Second Christian Church and became assistant editor of the company that published The Christian Evangelist . The Standard Adding Machine Company released the first 10 key adding machine in between 1901 ref G.C.
