The Burroughs Corporation was a major American manufacturer of business equipment.

And while it was one of the largest producers of mainframe computers in the world, Burroughs also produced related equipment as well, including typewriters and printers.

In 1886, the American Arithmometer Company was established in St. Louis, Missouri to produce and sell an adding machine invented by William Seward Burroughs ( grandfather of Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs ).

In 1904, six years after Burroughs ' death, the company moved to Detroit and changed its name to the Burroughs Adding Machine Company.

Burroughs developed a range of adding machines with different capabilities, gradually increasing in their capabilities.

In time, Burroughs was selling more than adding machines, including typewriters.

But the biggest shift in company history came in 1953 ; the Burroughs Adding Machine Company was renamed the Burroughs Corporation and began moving into computer products, initially for banking institutions.

In conjunction with these products, Burroughs also manufactured an extensive range of cheque processing equipment, normally attached as terminals to a larger system such as a B2700 or B1700.

Burroughs was one of the eight major United States computer companies ( with IBM, the largest, Honeywell, NCR Corporation, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and UNIVAC ) through most of the 1960s.

In terms of sales, Burroughs was always a distant second to IBM.

At the same time, Burroughs was very much a competitor.

Like IBM, Burroughs tried to supply a complete line of products for its customers, including Burroughs-designed printers, disk drives, tape drives, computer printing paper, and even typewriter ribbons.

In the 1950s, Burroughs had worked with the Federal Reserve Bank on the development and computer processing of magnetic ink character recognition ( MICR ) especially for the processing of bank cheques.

Burroughs made special MICR / OCR sorter / readers which attached to their medium systems line of computers ( 2700 / 3700 / 4700 ) and this entrenched the company in the computer side of the banking industry.
