Historical Context

The International Time Recording Company (ITR) was formed in 1901 and manufactured time recording equipment in Binghamton, NY. In 1911, ITR merged with Computing Scale Company and Tabulating Machine Company to form the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR). In 1924, CTR changed its name to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). These ITR time recorders represent the early history of what would become one of the world's largest technology companies.
