Monroe Model K
with Electrical Drive
"Monroe calculator owned by Jordan, Kaiser &
Sessions, the CE firm I work for in Natchez MS. In appearance it is similar to their
non-electric 1911 or so machine except it has a motor on the left side. The ID plate shows
no model name. Has Monroe Calculating Machine Co., Woolworth Bldg., NYC, #R26363, Type
43412 CU etc with "Patented and Patents Pending" and other info. Hasn't been
used for decades, but does work. What doesn't show in the photo are some
metal strips running vertically between the rows of keys. The strips are green on one
side, blending in with the top of the machine, and cream on the other side. By
turning them, using a tiny grip on the lower end of each strip, you visually accent
divisions such as the number 1234567 into 12,345.67 ." |
